When we face serious issues we may shut-down, shame or over blame ourselves/others for the problem. Absence of healthy coping skills/emotional balance can lead to an unhappy walk through life. Therapy allows the opportunity for growth to understand personal thoughts, feelings and behavior. Together, we can re-discover healthy control, coping skills, peace, hope, and emotional balance. Perhaps for the first time, you will love, trust and feel comfortable within your own skin. I like to look at change through a developmental lens where we have the courage to break unhealthy habits and replace them with more effective skills.

There may be times when you feel like you are just surviving, just trying to make it through each day - and anything extra feels impossible. You may feel sad, lonely, or angry, or feel that others don’t understand what you are going through. Maybe work is unsatisfying, or parenting is offering new challenges. Perhaps finances are on your mind constantly, or loved one is ill or addicted.

I do not believe in the idea of an "ideal client". I believe that every client is unique in their own way. They come to session with their own issues, needs, and goals. As a counselor, I feel that it is my job to make sure that their concerns are adequately addressed and that their needs and goals are met.

In my practice, I provide a caring, comfortable, and safe environment in which clients and families can better understand their relationships. I encourage and support increased mindfulness and self-awareness so that clients can be intentional in their words and actions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have about the process of therapy or my approach to therapy.

People come to therapy with issues. We believe they also bring the solutions to those issues. Our role is to assist in the process of discovering and implementing those solutions.

You are the expert in your life and our expertise can help you with the next stage of your journey.

Once stated by Erik Erickson, "Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment".

The ideal client is anyone who acknowledges they are open to change. As Yogi Berra famously said, "Ninety percent of this game is half mental, the other half is physical." Openness to thinking in new ways and then backing that up with new behaviors is crucial to successful change.

Are you tired of experiencing the same patterns and want to heal at the root of your symptoms? I specialize in treating trauma, addictions, and self esteem issues - in particularly with women and teenagers. When my clients first come in, their lives are overrun by fear and insecurities. They carry around deep shame about who they are and never feel quite “good enough”. They want to be confident and heal the patterns that are holding them back but do not know where to start.

I've worked for many years in drug treatment too. I think clients are looking for a way to gain insight and awareness of how challenges effect their thinking, and want to learn new skills to improve how they feel and function in the world.
