I'm not the expert on your life, YOU are. With the perspective of an outside observer and insight born of experience, I seek to help you map out a path to pursue healing and wholeness. I believe that ignoring your heart is as dangerous as following your heart. I instead seek to help you understand what's happening in your heart, so you can explore your inner world and respond out of a place of self-awareness and growth.

Therapy provides a safe place to increase understanding, to learn how to make positive changes, to resolve problems, to heal from painful situations, or to simply feel better. I believe these things occur best when an individual is in a non-judgmental environment where they are treated with dignity and respect. I strive to provide just that to my clients. I want people to feel relaxed and supported when working with me. Life, with all its challenges, is difficult enough. The therapeutic process should be as easy as possible.

My ideal client wants to work with me on identifying personal goals, behaviors that limit their success, and resources that will empower them to be successful. They are willing to work as hard as I do. I have devoted much time and energy to understanding how adverse experiences in life have created ways of surviving in the past, but create chaos in the present. My client will experiment with new behaviors between sessions and we will evaluate their progress. I use outcome rating scales to track client self assessment and session rating scales to get my client's assessment of our therapeutic relationship.

Life can be overwhelming at times. Whether the stressors are external such as life transitions, relationship problems, employment problems, death of a loved one, or illness or internal such as shame, depression, anxiety, self image/self esteem, often we don't know where to turn or what to do. I know how scary it can be to seek help. My number one goal is to provide a nurturing environment where you feel safe to share things that you have never been able to say out loud. I would like to partner with you to help you get your feet back on solid ground and help you to love yourself.
