Are there times in your life when you find yourself reaching for a life goal and just can't seem to get there? You know something is in the way, but you just can't put your finger on what it is. Perhaps you're feeling down and just can't motivate yourself to do much of anything. Or you have lots of energy but you just get sidetracked all the time and just can't seem to focus. Or maybe there's conflict with a spouse, a family member, or a close friend. Whatever the reason, psychotherapy can uncover the mystery so you can live your life in your most productive, satisfying, and gratifying way.

Along with individual therapy, I have led groups enabling clients to build self esteem, positive social skills, and reduce family and peer conflicts.
Making the decision to begin psychotherapy can be
difficult. "Am I really crazy?", "My parents want me to go" or "The last time I went it was useless," are typical obstacles that prevent someone from scheduling the first session. Therapy is making the first step towards improved self awareness. I point out to clients that therapy becomes a weekly safe place, away from their busy schedules, to focus solely on yourself. When this happens people are often surprised at what they discover.

Therefore, my practice is focused on providing an empathetic and non-judgmental environment. The Daring Way and IFS are two models I implement when working with clients in the therapeutic setting. After attending a two day training with the creator of IFS, Dr. Richard Schwartz, I developed skills for IFS informed treatment with clients. Internal family systems (IFS) is an empirical model of therapy used to help clients strengthen the parts that make up their internal system.

I recently completed a two-year training program through the Gestalt Institute of Pittsburgh, and have over 8 years of training and experience utilizing Eco-Systemic Structural Family Therapy.
I work hard to help each client connect more fully with what their heart, mind, and body are telling them right here and right now so that they can utilize this awareness to more choicefully navigate how they make contact with the world around them. I will support you at a pace that you set while offering friendly invitations to challenge yourself in ways that lead to meaningful growth. I stress creating a safe environment free from judgment, guilt, or shame, where you will not only be heard but you will also feel heard. If this sounds like what you are looking for, I warmly invite you to reach out to me via phone or email.
