"People come to my office with a variety of concerns related to relationships, identity, spirituality, career, self-development, or life purpose.

"Working together, we greet Pain and Suffering and ask "How will you serve my development?" Psychotherapy isn't about finding perfection, but pursuing wholeness and respecting our Self. It's simple. It's complicated. It can be very difficult, and and there are laughter and surprises to be enjoyed. Go for it: tend to your emotional to-do list, relationship overhaul/finesse, deep discovery, gather energy to take your journey to the next level. Mid-life? Starting out on your own? Starting/ending a relationship? Creative and stuck? Uncertain times like these require support, wisdom and creativity."

"I strive to offer a steadfast, reflective, responsive and compassionate environment. Together we will seek to understand what your unique challenges are as well as what growth and healing might look like for you. I work with adult individuals and couples who struggle with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem and confidence issues, overachieving and perfectionism, grief and loss, creative and spiritual crisis, identity challenges, communication, intimacy, and divorce."

"I believe therapy has the power to transform people's lives and improve their relationships. My approach is collaborative and relational. In therapy, I work with clients to develop concrete goals and tools to increase confidence in themselves and in their relationships. I also assist clients in processing how past experiences may contribute to insecurities, unhelpful patterns in relationships, and professional dissatisfaction. Throughout the therapy process I help empower clients to change their life narratives by expressing and pursuing what they want in their lives."

"Life is hard, even when it's going well. And then there are the times that it isn't going well, and we need to expand our network of care. Therapy is a helpful process in both times of life. I work to connect with you, follow your needs, support you in the growth and transformation you crave, and help you through the discomfort that change can bring. I believe in the closeness of dualities, such as trauma and resilience, crying and laughing, masculine and feminine, and seeking ways to get these dualities into a closer and more symbiotic relationship with one another."

"I believe that all individuals are their own best experts. Acting as a co-detective and working alongside clients to connect them with the person they want to be has proven to be both effective and inspirational. From anxiety and depression to parenting issues to PTSD, the ability to connect and provide a safe productive place to explore, reflect and dig deep has served my diverse clientele well. I am honored to be let into my clients' worlds and feel lucky to join forces and help forge a path to healing, re-awakening and transformation."

I work with a wide range of issues, from depression, anxiety, self-esteem or relationship problems to "stuck in a rut." My goal is to help you reach your goal."

"Are you tired of "reacting" and not feeling good yourself? Is your past controlling you in the present in ways that aren't serving you? When we are "hijacked" by our past experiences we lose the ability to choose how we respond. This affects how we feel physically and emotionally; impacting how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. It doesn't have to be that way. I see therapy as an inclusive and collaborative process that healing on a mental, physical and spiritual level."

"*COUPLES COUNSELING* Are you and your partner in a stuck place? Are you having difficulty navigating around the same conversation or disagreement? Are you working toward recovery from an infidelity?

I believe it's necessary to understand and have compassion for ourselves and also for our partner. When we have a deeper understanding of what drives our behaviors and our partner's behaviors, we feel more generous and capable of meeting one another's needs."

"As a therapist, it is my sole intention to assist you in nurturing your own unique insight. When I'm in conversation with my clients, we work together to name and understand the issues that trouble them. I assist them in confronting the barriers to a more enjoyable life, and together we discover what needs to change, or what can be more peacefully accepted. I am primarily a "talk" therapist. My clients have described me as "down to earth" and "personable." I also use Cognitive Behavioral techniques in order to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior."

"Are you looking for a safe space to share your feelings; to better understand your emotional self? If you are experiencing relationship problems, feel stuck or blocked, anxious or depressed, we can work together to understand these issues. Sometimes we know that things don't feel right, but can't put our finger on it. Through guided exploration, we can discover underlying causes for these feelings, and develop a more authentic connection with ourselves and with others. I work with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents."
