I view therapy as an avenue to transform our pain into our teacher. My role is to provide a safe, trusting relationship for individuals to express themselves, explore their emotions, and probe their patterns and the systems in which they live.

You feel overwhelmed, constantly juggling work and home, with no time for yourself. The pressure to perform perfectly at work, as well as other demands, leaves you exhausted. Despite your accomplishments, feelings of inadequacy persist, and you're afraid of letting everyone down. Every day is a struggle to get out of bed, and activities that once brought joy now seem empty. Trusting others is difficult, and sadness and worry are frequent, leaving no chance for self-esteem. The pain from your past and this constant stress are taking a toll, and you realize you need help to move forward. You often feel unworthy of love, sad anxious.

Dear Prospective Client,
I'm writing to you about the idea of starting therapy with someone new, especially someone that you don't know. First of all it's important that you feel very comfortable with that person, like you can talk openly about anything. You want to feel safe. It's hard making that first step, but you can do it and besides it can be really beneficial to your life.

Relationships are beautiful and they are also incredibly challenging. Sometimes our deepest connections and relationships can experience unintentional wounding. This can be as a result of a variety of things inherently coming up for us that we may not yet realize or understand. As a PACT trained couple's therapist I provide a deep level of attunement to couples in session to locate tender spots and any underlying issues. I provide a space where couples can connect and be seen and heard by one another and ultimately move towards functioning securely together. Let's get you unstuck, out of old patterns and onto the same team, again.

Finding someone to speak with and asking for help is a courageous step. I understand how it can be to share personal information with someone you have just met and I will hold this position with respect. Many people come to therapy for support with anxiety, depression, stress, loss and relationship issues. For some, therapy is more about understanding themselves, changing patterns of behavior that are outdated and they are making efforts to move forward. Therapy is not about advice giving, although many times, problem solving is part of the process. Change seems more likely when there is someone listening to us and we feel encouraged. It's also useful to speak with someone who has knowledge of the most effective strategies for change. It is my hope that whatever your reason for seeking therapy, together we can create a useful experience for you.

Many of us show the world only a small fraction of who we really are. It's easy to feel the pressure to conform or hide certain aspects of ourselves. My goal for therapy is to provide an opportunity for you to be your complete self, without the fear of judgment or rejection. I hope that working together will not only alleviate the pain and discomfort you may be feeling right now, but also push you to grow in new ways.
