Building on the strengths of each client, I provide a warm, accepting environment in which to address inner and outer obstacles.

In order to change and grow, we all need psychological mirrors to access the insights within us. In these mirrors we find our patterns, the pain we're holding onto, the changes that need to happen, and often the next steps to take in our path. Therapy is a powerful psychological mirror, as are journaling, bodywork, and creative practices.

Making the decision to seek help from a therapist is a hard one that takes courage, so you deserve credit for coming to this point.

We will always start our work together with focusing on what you are experiencing right now. I can help you find peace and balance as you learn to cope and adjust to the various stresses of life. We can also begin to explore how your past experiences may be influencing you today. Often times we know that our upbringing was not maybe the "best" and as a result we can feel less than fully appreciated and un-validated. This can have longterm effects on our self-esteem and wellbeing. Therapy allows us to fully explore any repeating patterns in your life, and offer freedom from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and suffering.
