"I feel that therapy can be a wonderful resource to help you cope with and heal from life's challenges. Understanding how your life experiences have led to relationship and behavior patterns can help you make lasting changes and lead a more fulfilling life. I work hard to create a safe environment and partnership with clients to facilitate personal growth. I utilize an integrative therapy model to create a personalized approach for each individual I work with. I also provide consultation."

"Therapy is an opportunity for an individual, a couple or a family to learn about themselves in ways that are ultimately strengthening. It can be hard to be hopeful when you are in crisis, feeling helpless, confused, and in pain. I think these periods of struggle can be useful in identifying how you think, behave, and relate to yourself and others in ways that may be ineffectual. While there are mental health situations that require medical intervention, I believe it is also possible through therapy to develop the self-awareness and skills necessary to feel better, and stay well."

"How are you looking to grow, change, or expand your awareness of yourself and your relationships? My work is to support and challenge; providing you with space to explore your self and connections to others, understand the story you create around your experience, and recognize patterns in your life from a foundation of support. Together, we investigate the ways you relate and connect to others, the ties in your history that inform where you are now, and how we can facilitate healing from past and current pain-whether that pain looks like depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual dysfunction, or discomfort in your sexual relationships."

""Building Compassionate Relationships" Do you and your spouse struggle with miscommunication and conflict? Do you sometimes feel out of control of your life and relationship? Are you suffering from anxiety, depression? In our busy and complex world, maintaining strong, supportive relationships and a healthy mindset is key to a satisfying life. With collaboration and respect, I support clients in developing strategies to manage their lives. I work with each client to build on their strengths and to identify and achieve life goals."

"Imagine relaxing the grip of the painful past and the scary future. Imagine letting go of limiting stories and habits, and learning to welcome experiences and thoughts with curiosity and appreciation, instead of rigidity and dread. Imagine learning to befriend your feelings, investigate your beliefs, recognize your strengths, and move toward your values, building on what already works. Imagine learning these new skills and attitudes with a compassionate, light-hearted therapist."

"It feels as though our lives have transitioned overnight due to current events. This time is especially challenging if you were already in the midst of a life transition. Whether you just had a new baby, recently got married or divorced, love someone struggling with addiction, or went through a traumatic event; a sexual assault, medical crisis or are in the grieving process. I can offer support and expertise. I'm especially seasoned in working with trauma and helping folks navigate their interpersonal relationships and relationship to self. Collaboration, awareness, and transformation are key components to my therapy practice. "

"Recognizing that no two stories are the same, my goal in working with clients is to provide a safe space where you know you are not alone in your struggles and feel helped and supported. I see adult clients who are facing a variety of challenges throughout the lifespan, and particularly during times of transition or change. I will work with clients to identify and empower your own unique strengths and instill a sense of hope. From me you can expect authenticity, warmth, and reliability."

"Hi! As a therapist, it is my privilege and passion to work with individuals and families to overcome challenging relationships and life stressors, losses, and trauma histories.

"Depressed? Anxious? Relationship issues? Anger? Are you feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with daily life? Do you feel that no one truly understands how you are feeling? Do you keep making the same mistakes over and over again? Is life chaotic and you feel that it's out of control? Nothing is in order and you do not know where to start. Do you just need one day of peace? Are you looking for balance in life, self love, acceptance and personal growth?"

"I believe therapy is a tool that can be used by everyone to help make life more manageable. During these uncertain times I am now offering virtual appointments that can be done in the safety and comfort of your own home. When we feel our life is out of control or we're unable to manage it, we may go to extremes to try and regain control. Most of the methods we turn to in these situations may seem to help in the beginning, but more often than not they end up hurting us in the long run. I believe this is where therapy can help to find healthy and productive ways to gain a sense of confidence and capability to handle struggles."

"Making a decision to begin the journey of therapy takes courage, commitment, and the willingness to change. It is not an easy decision, but well worth the effort and with much to gain. I will provide you with a safe haven to explore obstacles impacting your ability to succeed and make lasting changes in your daily life. My approach is collaborative, strength-based, and multidimensional. I use a myriad of approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems, and mindfulness-based techniques."

"There are times in life when things seem overwhelming and we can't figure out how to get life back on track. When life hits us with those moments it's a difficult but yet empowering step to seek a therapist. Therapy is a partnership which allows a therapist to assist you with the needed skills to work through the difficulties of life. This safe space of therapy allows you the opportunity to be open and explore who you are and who you want to become."

The ideal client would be someone who is interested in identifying and working towards their goals. Finding a good match with a therapist is an important decision."
