"I offer therapy adapted to the needs of the client. If brief, problem-focused work is needed, I offer it. For clients seeking a fuller understanding of themselves and their personality styles, I provide open-ended, insight-based therapy. Because I recognize each person as a whole, complex individual, I try to see each person and each set of difficulties in context. Proper resolution of problems often requires attention to the complexity--the emotional, physical, cognitive, spiritual, and interpersonal dimensions --of the client's experience. Prevention of future difficulties also ranks high in the priorites of my therapeutic work."

"Making the decision to seek help can be scary and difficult, yet so rewarding. As a therapist, I strive for each person to feel safe, empowered, and motivated to make the changes they wish to see in their life. I also encourage exploration and awareness of how experiences can effect and impact the way a person views the world and themselves. I approach therapy in a gentle, and direct way to support clients in healing and growth. This is done through person-centered and systemic, evidence-based practices. "

My special interests are adoptive and foster care families. My passion is helping adults, couples, and families move from anxiety and depression to enjoyment and connection with others."

"Sometimes things happen in life that we can't seem to get over -- deep hurts, betrayals, losses, or sometimes a sense that something doesn't feel right inside that we can't quite put our finger on. We act in ways we don't like -- for ourselves or our relationships. I help people work through and heal from these feelings and make positive changes to their lives. I also help women process through and heal from divorce and embrace their future, focusing on their most important relationship: the relationship with themselves. "

"Are you feeling stressed out? On the surface it may look like you have it all: a wonderful partner, nice family, or a great career but underneath, you are overwhelmed. Others may think you are put together, sometimes, even coming to you for support. They don't realize you are experiencing increased worry, anxiousness, and exhaustion. You feel stressed out, distracted, and even panicked. You just can't keep up. When you stop to think about it, you are not living the life you expected. You are tired and don't know where to turn."

"Making the choice to start therapy is a difficult one. You’re here because you are making a brave choice and you’re wanting help to break from that feeling of being stuck in one or more areas of your life. You try and form healthier habits and quit the old ones, but for some reason it is not working. You desire relationships that build you up, but more often than not, you find yourself in unhealthy ones, and are left feeling confused and alone. Parenting, school and life feel overwhelming and you are ready for a long lasting change. Good News, you’ve come to the right place ! "
