Clients are welcomed into my space where ever they are in terms of understanding, self-awareness, and emotion--anger, tearfulness, confusion--all are accepted as part of the process. Sessions focus on the 'here and now' while also exploring historical issues being triggered and mis-managed. I confront irrational thinking and help clients re-script their less-than-helpful language around feeling 'not good enough,' 'broken,' or 'lost.' Ultimately, clients can expect to focus on their issues--whatever they may be--and will, in the process, come to feel genuinely known, accepted, and not so alone in the process of their lives.

Clients come to therapy in states of deep pain, suffering and confusion. Initially, much of our work together focuses on sitting in that pain, validating the hurts and learning about your unique resilience. Pain and suffering can be great portals to self-awareness. Then from a position of greater self-confidence and self-worth, you can not only ease your suffering but start creating a life that feels full and valid to you.

The therapy I do with clients is practical, solution-focused and effective, particularly utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness.

l I've found people do the best they can with what they've got. Coming to therapy takes courage to find a new way of being. While figuring out what is working well, and where adjustments are needed, we will have fun, too. Rather than simply listening to you, or asking about your feelings, I tend toward questions about thoughts and actions. It's okay if you don't know yet what needs to change. We will make plans together to meet goals we set in the first few sessions. These will focus on changing thoughts and behaviors that aren't helpful or effective.

Sometimes life becomes overwhelming. You feel stuck. You want a healthier, more satisfying life story. Reaching out for help takes courage (though you may not feel brave at the moment).

You are the expert in your life, and I have expertise in the counseling process. Together we can find clarity and direction in your story.

Depressed? Anxious? Need Relationship help? Need to resolve trauma? I can help. Meeting the needs and challenges of my clients is what counseling is all about for me. I believe that people who come to see me should leave with the tools they need to create the lives they want to live.

Through this process we can address communication & skills-building needs, relationship issues, life transitions, grief or loss issues, family concerns, & goals to achieve your highest potential.

I believe healing begins by experiencing respect, understanding and unconditional acceptance in a counseling relationship. As your counselor I am dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment to facilitate help and healing for a wide range of mental health issues, grief and trauma recovery.

We will work together to strengthen the skills you already possess and develop new strategies to help you navigate through the challenges and tragedies in your life.

From the moment I discovered what counseling really was, I knew it was my personal and professional calling. Since that time I have had a wealth of experiences that have confirmed that being a counselor is simply what I am meant to do. Winston Churchill once said, "If you're going through hell, keep going." What better way to get through dark times in your life than to bring along someone who is dedicated to keeping you from getting stuck there?
