Why spend your energy trying to cope with what is, when you could use it to create what you really want? I love working with people who are motivated to make significant life change, even if they don't know where or how to begin! I focus on teaching clients to separate thoughts from feelings, tap into their inner core of intuitive awareness, and use their own inner guidance system -- to move toward their goals, and away from old patterns and obstacles to growth. Along the way, we bring in interesting discussions, good books, homework, mindfulness exercises, and of course, some humor!

Seeking therapy is a courageous first step towards better understanding how past and current experiences impact individual wellbeing. I believe the most important part of treatment is establishing a trusting client-therapist relationship. I work to build a warm, open environment so you feel safe when sharing difficult thoughts and feelings. There are times in life when our usual coping strategies are not enough and feelings of helplessness and inadequacy can take over. Therapy can help to successfully navigate life's challenges and make positive changes that will contribute to improved feelings of competence in managing relationships, transitions, and other stressors more productively.

Life is stressful these days feelings of sadness and worry come up for everyone. You don't have to get through it on your own. I'm here to walk with you through these things; depression, anxiety, loneliness, loss, and relationship issues are all things that can be made better through therapy. I like to work with people who are motivated and creative; open to change and improving the relationships with themselves and those around them. There is nothing more important than investing in your own mental health and well-being.

Would you like to transform your life issues into growth and have a deeper connection to your body, health and purpose? I listen with compassion, offer insight, and support you in finding practical solutions for your life issues: depression, anxiety, anger, relationship problems or something else. Over time I will expose you to body-based methods for physical and emotional renewal. Our work might include mindfulness, breath, movement or other body based techniques, which increases self-awareness and empowerment. Finding an understanding of these changes in the context of spirituality is supported if you find this useful.

You’ve been trying to do this alone, and you’re tired of trying. These days, your emotions feel like a minefield – where harsh words, unexpected obstacles or even "good" days can detonate uncontrollable feelings, urges, and actions. When the dust settles, you’re left in a haze of regret and shame. You’ve tried everything to numb out the thoughts and feelings entirely, and over time, other people have been pushed out, too. Alone and confused, you wonder: why does life seem easier for everyone else? Am I unfixable? Does anyone understand what I go through each day?
