Treatment is tailored to each individual and therapy is focused on finding what works for each individual client.

My ideal client is an individual who feels as if their world is beginning to unravel emotionally, socially, spiritually and physically. Often such feelings are precipitated by acute, post traumatic or situational stress. Personal relationships often begin to show signs of strain and bouts of depression and anxiety are constant companions. For me the process of psychotherapy is based in a relationship where my clients are afforded an opportunity to open up inner hurts and past trauma in a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment. My office setting is relaxing and reflects my deep commitment to my clients well being.

Each person has an innate capacity for strength and change, and is worthy of a life filled with satisfaction and joy. Working together, we can explore thoughts, experiences, and choices that can lead to more fulfilling, life-enhancing actions. Whether dealing with a specific distressing issue, recurring problems, or general feelings of sadness, anxiety, or pain, I can help you find ways to reach your best potential for positive change.

Life can be difficult. These experiences lead us to beliefs and behaviors that can compromise growth and development. We soon forget balance. We adapt to negative ideas; we have scars as we muddle through; we adapt rather than expand and thrive. In a safe and supportive environment, I help my clients examine behaviors and awake to change to be kinder. I help people examine their life events and help them turn traumatic and difficult memories into post-traumatic growth experiences Using multiple behavioral specific techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, I help my clients discover their authentic selves and voices.

I believe it is my job as a therapist to empower my clients to find their own path and truth as they understand it. In terms of theoretical orientation I would describe myself as integrative with a strong emphasis on multicultural feminist theories. How this translates into therapy is most evident in my emphasis on a collaborative approach and a goal of empowering my clients. At the same time I am engaged in continuous consideration of how multiple oppressions (sexism, racism, heterosexism, classism) in the current societal and historical context may be contributing to distress.

I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process between the client and therapist. We work together in a safe, confidential environment using a variety of techniques to attain mutually derived goals such as; enhancing interpersonal relationships, personal growth, behavioral changes that lead to improved social & professional functioning and relief from personal suffering.
