I have worked with a large range of life circumstances including anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem and loss. In these painful experiences we all are faced with healing pain. Together we can get life back on track.

Consistent relating in this manner energizes healthy change.
I’ve been a therapist since the early 1980s. I work with all kinds of people dealing with all kinds of issues, from psychodynamic work to problem solving. The work is always intended to address the whole person. Psychotherapy is a collaborative relational process. That is my approach.

Counseling is a challenging avenue to pursue. Usually at moments of confusion, loss, even desperation. Having been in the field for over 20 years, I can admit I don't have 1 answer. However, having that amount of professional (and considerable personal) experience, I've accumulated quite a tool box. It may not guide you to immediate enlightenment, but it will help with the journey. I hope to hear from you.

I promise to always hold your story and your struggles in the highest respect - not as a distant "expert", but as a fellow traveler in the hu man experience.
It's tough out there, isn't it? Perhaps you're struggling with feelings of sadness, isolation, futility, and emptiness. Perhaps you find yourself worrying about the past, present, future, or who you are. You may struggle with symptoms of trauma or a negative inner voice. Maybe you've tried therapy before, and been disappointed by formulaic notions of growth or ideal living. It's certainly easy to feel discouraged. Yet healing is still possible, and I believe that goal-directed and evidence-based therapy is an effective way of facilitating that process.

I work one-on-one with adults who are seeking to heal from trauma and loss, to understand and accept themselves more fully, to feel more present and connected, and to pursue new directions of personal growth. Most of my clients have been in therapy before—some for many years, but with limited results. They often arrive at my practice seeking an alternative to traditional “talk therapy” and the medical model of mental health. I offer a holistic approach that honors the body, mind, spirit, and natural world.

My approach is collaborative, ie, we figure out together what's going on and how best to work towards better outcomes. My patients are children, adolescents and their families, couples and adults - young and old. I have a good deal of experience with acting-out behaviors, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma-based behaviors. While some difficulties can be more skillfully dealt with, I am skeptical that life's problems can be 'resolved' forever and ever. Emotions and thoughts will forever arise, offering endless opportunities to learn different responses, ultimately transforming habitual reactions into conscious responses that work better for us.

Seeking therapy and counseling is a courageous act! It can feel vulnerable and uncomfortable confronting the difficulties and angst we are experiencing and seeking support, but for many it is the first step towards healing. If you experience stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, relational difficulties, religious trauma, burnout, and more, therapy and counseling may help. When we feel safe and have the support to courageously examine our lives and ourselves, we naturally move towards healing and discover the strength inside us.

I am committed to helping people navigate and better understand themselves and their relationships through exploring the challenges we all experience as hu man beings. Therapy is a deeply personal experience. It takes courage and will be challenging at times. Yet these periods also offer an invitation for growth and change. It is appropriate for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of themselves and is willing to make a commitment to do the necessary work. I create a safe, encouraging and engaging environment.

I really enjoy working with people who want more out of life; whether it's to reduce the impact of depression, anxiety, or pain; to move on from past experiences; or just change directions. I love being part of that journey and helping people get closer to a "life worth living." We all have a truth and a sense of when we are living in tune with the person we feel we were meant to become. Trauma, addictions, and other mood conditions force us to feel separate from that truth, and I am looking to work with people who want to reconnect with it.
