PARTNER/SPOUSE support group starting in January 2023! Two sections offered: Tues at 12pm and Fri at 9:30am.

I want to work with you as you navigate these struggles. My goal is to create a safe place for you to be open, explore yourself, learn, grow and, most importantly, heal. I use a variety of techniques that will help guide our work together.

My focus is to get people back to living more fully, resolving trauma, abuse or whatever crises may have led to the important decision to pursue professional therapy. I have worked diligently in 25+ years of psychotherapy practice learning how to foster an effective healing process. In my experience, clients have found therapy to be an extremely important venture, uniquely personal and insightful, yet can feel uniquely vulnerable. Good therapy is built on a balance of challenge and support, developed in collaboration that fits each client, that leads to [re]discovery of potentials for better, more satisfying living.

My approach in therapy is client-centered and my work is just to facilitate and provide the optimal conditions for healing to take place. I also hope to impart knowledge and skills for people to work with themselves effectively outside of therapy.
