Finding a therapist can be intimidating. Utilizing a strengths based approach, I am passionate about helping others identify their unique abilities and utilize them to work toward their personal goals. I believe that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Life is hard and can be unbearable without adequate support. You don't have to go another day carrying your struggles alone. When you face your pain and share it with another, you begin to take its power away and start the process of healing. My purpose as a therapist is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to do so and to support you in your journey.

In practice for over 25 years, I take a client centered and eclectic approach with a deep appreciation for individuality and diversity. I have been trained extensively in dynamic psychotherapy. Part science and part art, the practice of dynamic psychotherapy is more than a technique. It addresses the complexity and uniqueness of each person's life story, hopes and dreams. Would you like to stop putting up with problems that you have been trying to change, or trying to force yourself to accept what is unacceptable to you?

When asked, "How are you?" Clients often respond, "I feel lost/empty," "I don't know who I am. What's wrong with me?" I hear confusion as they ask for help, but these feelings can change. When overwhelmed, it shows intelligence and courage to seek help. I provide a safe, confidential, and comfortable environment where you can speak and heal without fear. Learn how to resolve conflicts in a positive, and productive way. The change process is most likely to succeed if we identify and stay connected with your strengths and values. Let me partner with you to assist you in reaching your potential.

Sometimes we seek out those needs through unhealthy coping and destructive habits, causing us to feel isolated, dissatisfied, or unfulfilled.

I serve as a guide in helping to achieve balance through talk-therapy, meditation and/or therapeutic yoga. My goal is to teach my clients to be their own therapists.
