"In my experience people seek treatment because they are struggling to bear adversity and to engage their lives. Symptoms express efforts to manage and communicate overwhelming emotions. For example, anxiety and depression are coded messages requiring translation. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to bring what is unbearable or confusing to another person so that over time it can be tolerated, understood, and situated in its proper context. Through learning more about your resources, vulnerabilities, and customary adaptations to stress, you can exercise more freedom in the choices you make."

"Ego says, "Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace." Spirit says, "Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place." As an individual, couple, and family therapist, I strive to help my patients find their peace by slowing down their thought processes in order to understand their emotions and make more intentional decisions. "

"Putting the needs of others above your own? Preoccupation with protecting other people and fixing their problems? An intense need to be perfect and gain approval from others? These are all common patterns that can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety and lack of fulfillment. I have a unique understanding for those who are struggling with these issues. With deep empathy, I can help you understand how your past experiences and relationships are affecting present day and provide you the solid ground to stand on to take risks to change your life and relationships."

"I'm here to listen. Stuck, hurt, scared, or lost; finding your path again can be difficult. Whether you are returning to therapy or beginning for the first time, together we can identify what is holding you back and how to overcome it. I aim to provide a safe, trusting, non-judgmental space for you to reflect, heal, and grow. "

"When a person comes to meet with me in my office, I start by learning as much as possible. Slowly we work to develop a full understanding of context as possible. With this context, we will begin to notice and track patterns in thoughts, emotions, words and actions. "

"If you have been feeling stuck, have difficulty understanding or expressing your emotions, or feel like no matter what you do or say, other people just don’t get it, help can seem out of reach. Life can get pretty overwhelming, and we all need a place to unwind, feel safe, and be understood. My approach to therapy is to help you take action while understanding what is and isn’t working for you. We may work with traditional talk therapy techniques, movement therapy, mindfulness, energy work, or something else - how we navigate our sessions will be co-created based on your goals and what you feel is best for you. "

"Everyone deserves to experience joy & fulfillment in life & relationships, including you! At the foundation of my approach is a strong connection between two people that is based on mutual safety, trust, & genuine care. Within this relationship, I am my authentic self by bringing my warmth, dedication, & quirky personality that often puts folks at ease & enables them to more compassionately understand their true selves, strengths & imperfections in all. Through this process of self-exploration, people I work with learn to more honestly attend to & express their emotions, which leads to greater self-acceptance & consequently freedom from self-doubt & low self-esteem."

"My work starts with a focus on the therapeutic relationship itself, which must be safe and affirming to create the trust that supports change.

It is my belief that personal growth occurs when we explore all aspects of ourselves, resulting in acceptance and empowerment."

"I work with clients of all ages using insight-oriented, cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based therapies along with guided imagery, dreamwork, and art. An active participant in the therapy process, I help you move forward by giving feedback, support and tools re to past, present and future issues of concern. I strongly believe in practicing mindfulness to reduce negative thinking like worrying and self-criticism. These are bad habits - and they can be changed. I am skilled at teaching children/adults how to be more mindful instead of getting caught up in harmful, unproductive thoughts that lead to self defeating actions."

"You’ve been thoughtful about the direction and choices you’ve made in life but you wonder: why don't you feel good about it? What ‘s gone wrong? Or, worse: just what’s wrong with me? A part of you yearns for change, but what’s the first thing to do? It can be overwhelming facing these feelings and thoughts alone. It’s essential to find a therapist who can support and guide you through them so change can be found."

"Choosing to begin therapy shows incredible inner strength. Difficult situations can be managed with the strength of the individual along with the help of an external support system. My goal is to be a part of that support network and to cultivate a safe and supportive environment where we can identify, explore, and work through challenging issues. I work with clients towards change in areas including depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, self - esteem, trauma, and life transitions."
