"Are you tired of traditional talk therapy? Overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety or stress, or fear and panic? You may be suffering from the trauma of a chronic, abusive or neglectful childhood (developmental trauma). Or, as an adult, from the shock of acute, traumatic events.

"When making a change, the biggest step you can take is the first step, to find the support you need to transform your life. For many, coming to therapy is a leap of faith & the idea can be scary. It's tempting to avoid dealing w/ deep issues, to run from the pain, to stay busy, or say I'll do it later. The clients who fully commit to changing their lives experience the greatest rewards. They develop the courage to do the inner work needed to create a happy, fulfilled life. I am dedicated to helping my clients become"

"Ever wonder what it would be like to get to the root of why you keep struggling? Do you feel like coping skills and distractions are just not enough or that you are always going to have to use them in order to get through your day? I firmly believe that we are trapped by underlying issues such as early childhood experiences, trauma, insecurities, as well as bad relationships. Having gone through the difficult work of identifying how my own past has contributed to continued dysfunction in my day-to-day routine, as well as continued repetition of patterns in relationships, I know first-hand what one experiences."

Finding the right thearpist with whom one can trust is vital. I can help you work through painful emotions. My goal is to help others better understand their needs and how the patterns of their own dance, affect their lives."

"You love your spouse -- and you've invested so much into your relationship. But sometimes you wake up in the morning and think, "How did I end up here?" It seems like nothing you say or do will get through. Instead, you just keep pushing each others' buttons--harder and harder. You both have your "baggage," and you try to be understanding, but the stress is becoming overwhelming. Is finding peace together even possible?"

"What is it about yourself or your life that seems problematic? It may be that you are subject to anxiety or a depression that is too absorbing, it may be that you lack the sort of confidence in your abilities to find the right way to find direction: or it may be that you feel something is missing in your life, be it an intimate relation with another or the right sort of vocation."

"I am always curious about what brings clients into psychotherapy at a particular juncture of their lives and what they are hoping to be different as a result of conversations with someone like me. Once the responses to this curiosity are articulated and there is a clear purpose and direction for therapy, I listen for what a client already knows and what the client strengths and personal resources currently are and what they have been in the past. This becomes the context for conversations which have the possibility of leading toward preferred changes in the client's life and in its direction."

I work with individuals and couples with a wide range of personal and relational struggles. These struggles often result in people feeling "stuck" and even "hopeless" that anything will ever change.

"If you are looking for a therapist most likely you have a problem you can't solve on your own. My first job is to listen very carefully. I need to understand why you are coming for therapy. We'll form a strategy to get you where you want to go. My questions will help me understand your problem and are geared to help you see your problem in a new way. Sometimes we'll talk about the past and sometimes we'll stay in the present. Sometimes I will just listen and sometimes I'll give you homework."

"If you or your child suffer from OCD or other anxiety disorders, you're not alone. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness, yet most sufferers don't receive proper, evidence-based treatment. OCD/anxiety can cause problems socially, academically, professionally, and create chaos with family members. The good news is that there is help. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has repeatedly shown to be the most effective approach for defeating OCD and anxiety. CBT creates new neuro-pathways by changing the way you think and behave. It's basically exercise for the brain. The more you flex those brain muscles, the stronger you become."

""We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." ~ Maya Angelou ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I understand that as we experience life we will inevitably encounter obstacles and stressors that challenge us to change. I also believe these moments present opportunities for transformation. I recognize that life transitions and personal experiences can sometimes be overwhelming, however they can also be valuable seasons with the potential to generate "peak and valley" experiences that can alter our life course."

"Life does not come with an instruction manual. I believe that sometimes we just need a safe place where we can share and be heard until we're able to assemble our thoughts and put the pieces together. I provide a client centered environment, offering empathy, a non-judgmental, reassuring hopeful atmosphere. I work together with my clients to support and establish their goals so that they will ultimately discover and develop their inner strengths."

"As a therapist I like to build on the existing strengths and resources which are unique to each person. The resolution of conflict, anxiety or sadness takes many different approaches. I like to tailor this work in a flexible manner to allow for feelings to be felt, emotions to be paced gently and new skills of living to be integrated. My approach to therapy is an engaged, fully present, empathic and creative process."
