I am a firm believer in client-centered therapy, trusting that the client is the expert on their own life and that my role is to help clients meet their goals through curiosity and the creation of a safe space. I work with my clients to try to understand the motivations behind their thoughts, feelings, and actions and invite a posture of empathy and compassion towards these parts of themselves. I have worked with families, couples, and youth, as well as clients with experiences of anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, PTSD, ADHD, and BPD.

There are times when we may develop thoughts and feelings about ourselves that are no longer useful, that disconnect us from who we really are and from the important people around us.

Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or with your partner or family, my approach focuses on helping you to find more presence, compassion, and clarity in your life and relationships.

Life can be difficult, and we all stumble at times. I think that one of the bravest things a person can do when they are struggling is to seek help. At the heart of psychotherapy is change. Whether your struggle is centered around relational issues/conflict, trauma/ loss , an important life transition, addiction, sexuality issues, depression, stress, anxiety, or feeling stuck, your commitment to change is your ticket to feeling better.

For over twenty years I have worked with people of all ages and stages. If you are unhappy or dissatisfied with life or relationships, struggling with depression or anxiety at home or at work, or feeling alone with guilt or shame, consider personal therapy. It takes a certain degree of courage but once getting started, most clients begin to feel understood and become able to reflect on their situation with some openness and curiosity. Talking about personal issues in a neutral non-judgmental space relieves acute suffering and leads to making changes that create a more comfortable and fulfilling life.

I work from a strength based model, recognizing the client as the expert in their own lives. Together we discuss goals for therapy, and collaborate on the best approach, while incorporating individualized coping strategies, mindfulness, and solution focused perspectives.

Are you struggling with the pain of grief following the loss of a loved one (recent or past), the ending of a relationship or a life changing transition? I want you to know that you don't have to navigate these tender times alone. Grief often shows up in many of our life experiences, including the things we wish were better, different, or more. The goal doesn't have to be to get rid of grief , but rather to integrate it into the fabric of our lives, where it softens and doesn't feel so heavy to carry. Grief may still be alive, but there can also be space for more. Here we make space for the fullness of the human experience.

Trauma and grief can happen to us in so many different ways, from a relationship breakdown to being victimized, it can feel so scary, isolating and take away your sense of self. I understand how vulnerable it can feel to reach out for help, so whether this is your first time reaching out for support or your tenth, please take the time to admire your strength. You deserve a space where you can feel validated, seen and heard. Let's work together to lighten the load you've been carrying for so long and determine what a meaningful life looks like for you.

Through therapy, you can save your relationships.In therapy I connect with: the potential you have to develop a nurturing, loving and caring relationship and the tender hearts behind the rigid and negative patterns that may have developed in your relationships. I believe:Relationships and desire to connect are the core of human experience.Your relationship, regardless of how severe your problems are, has potential to become a safe and supportive base and comforting haven.
