Some things cannot be done alone. Managing grief, living with debilitating anxiety, tolerating resentment that will not relent - all are life challenges that require the presence of a patient listener who can bring words to pain where previously there were none. Our therapeutic relationship will create a safe space to share troubling feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that have been experienced as shameful, embarrassing, or isolating. I offer individuals an opportunity to examine past choices, current patterns of behavior, and impending decisions in a curious manner that promotes self-reflection and increases self-awareness.

I believe that clients have the answers and abilities to make positive lifelong changes given the right tools.

Are you anxious or depressed and are having difficulty identifying where those feelings are coming from? I believe through therapy, clients are able to identify changes they would like to make in a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment and apply those changes to their lives.
