Through my own experiences of pain, loss, joy and gratitude as well as sitting with others who have experienced the same, I know freedom from pain is possible when you decide to invest the time and space in your life to make therapy a priority for yourself.
A trusting and solid relationship between therapist and client is the most important and foundational element of the counseling relationship. Developing client rapport and providing supportive, safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental counseling environments are essential elements in building relationships with my clients.

You keep thinking that one day it will be better. One day your grief won't be so hard. One day you'll stop calling yourself such awful names that you'd never dream of saying to anyone else. One day your anxiety won't make anything and everything harder. One day you might discover who you want to be when you grow up. Here's the thing: time doesn't heal all wounds. It's what we do with that time. Aren't you ready for something different? What healing and change looks like is different for everyone. Why not see what it could look like for you? (Please note that as of 1/1/24 I am not able to see clients who have Medicare.)

Lately, I have worked with many aging adults struggling with loss, guilt, and transition.
I believe most change occurs in trusted relationships where one feels valued and heard. By offering support, encouragement, and affirmation, l hope to create a safe and compassionate place where we can explore those family dynamics, life issues and personal choices that make up your life story. By uncovering faulty thinking that results in damaging patterns of relating, you will better understand who you are and who you want to become. We will explore ways to make changes so you are not ruled by addictions. Together, we will come up with strategies so that you may make the necessary changes to experience growth and healing.
