Life is a journey, and we sometimes lose our direction, get "stuck," and don't know where to turn. Feelings of hopelessness and shame often arise, and our coping skills fail us. Joy can fade from our lives, and some of us isolate as we question who we are and where we fit in. If we knew how to make positive changes, we would jump at the chance -- we can't just "snap out of it" as some might suggest. My approach to therapy and counseling builds on client strengths -- we all have them, and I can help you to identify them. Therapy opens doors to wellness allowing patients to not only 'get well' but also to explore life goals.

The process of therapy is an act of courage. Choosing to open up to explore what isn't working in our lives is a powerful step. This is a place to explore what doesn't work, understanding why it's not working and exploring options for change.Over the past 30 years my work has developed and grown. I work best with older teens and adults. I enjoy working with individuals and couples. Helping parents of teenagers navigate their relationships with their children is a real passion of mine.

I view therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on themselves, and the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in creating change. It is important to have a safe, empowering, and supportive environment in order to examine hurtful relationship patterns and emotional difficulties, and in turn change negative self-evaluations to better respond to life's challenges. I am genuinely interested in and committed to helping my clients gain insight and express their needs in order to engage in more healthy relationships and live the life they want.

I believe in the power of therapy and the changes that can occur within each session. The most beautiful parts of therapy work are when both the client and therapist can be open, honest, and vulnerable with their struggles, observations, and successes. I seek to provide a supportive environment that can nurture vulnerability and true progress. By using mindfulness and grounding techniques, self-awareness can occur in order not to just live, but to thrive.

I help clients achieve their goals by utilizing research-based interventions within a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive therapeutic space.

I specialize in working with children (ages 10+), adolescents, and adults.
