My approach is to actively engage, creating a supportive and collaborative environment that is equally empathic and challenging. By focusing on both past experiences and present circumstances, I seek to access the client's inner strengths in order to overcome difficult situations, make noticeable changes and break unhealthy patterns.

You might feel overwhelmed, isolated, or powerless. You might feel rushed, out of control, or even empty. But you shouldn't have to feel these things alone. My goal is for our time together to be both healing and helpful. Let's find new ways to alleviate some of the hardships of life and work towards creating positive and healthy change in your mind and body. I love working with children, and women who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral issues, anger, life transitions, and sexual issues. I am a great fit for someone who is seeking a warm, empowering, non-judgmental and comfortable space.

I have always said a willing client is my favorite kind of client. It is likely you do not want to feel unwanted emotions, you don't even have to engage in self-improvement but the question is... are you willing to take a leap of faith towards personal healing?

It is easy to become attached to painful stories that we have created about life, other people, or ourselves. Experiential Therapy is a wonderful way to begin the process of letting go by gaining tools that promote healing and recovery. Through the practice of unlearning fear-based behaviors, we open up our minds to fresh and new ways to experience the world.

I primarily see men and women who are dealing with problems relating to anxiety and/or depression. Many of the people I treat are dealing with overwhelming life issues. During therapy we process these issues and practice strategies designed to give you coping skills you can use for your current and future situations. I am trained to provide relief on a wide variety of pressures, including, but not limited to anger and communication difficulties, grief and loss, history of trauma, adult recovery from child abuse, divorce, change of life issues, relationship conflict and men's and women's issues.

A strong therapeutic relationship can provide the context for transformative healing and growth. I work well with people who have experienced trauma or deprivation in their early experience and who desire healing from those events, as well as those who feel stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Since many chronic issues contain elements of earlier experiences, our work together may include increasing your awareness about how your past is at work in the present, reducing its ability to dictate your responses and choices, and letting go of defensive strategies that worked in the past but are not serving you now.

Poet Geoffrey Chaucer wrote, "time heals all wounds." You're probably searching this site because you have discovered this is not the full truth. The path to healing requires focusing some time and attention on the wounds you carry. Woundedness is the soul's voice demanding to be attended to rather than quieted. The therapeutic relationship is a conduit through which you discover your innate ability to attend to your soul and ultimately find healing.
