My practice serves all ages and most psychological conditions. I use therapy methods that lead us right to your issues so you can achieve your therapy goals quickly and efficiently. We work together to establish your goals and involve others in your life if you so choose. Family issues and issues of childhood and adolescence are my focus though. I have considerable training in issues of all relationships and behavioral health concerns.

We all experience difficulties or challenges during different periods of our lives. Therapy can be a very useful resource to help you successfully navigate these times.
My goal as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you to identify and solve problems that are negatively impacting your life, relationships, or that are getting in the way of achieving your goals.

I believe that our moments of greatest struggle can also hold the most potential for growth and self-discovery. By giving ourselves a supportive space to explore the places that feel painful or stuck, we open ourselves to a wealth of information about our deepest desires, strengths, and wisdom. This makes it possible to live with greater self-compassion, freedom in our actions, and ease in our relationships. Whether you are navigating a significant life transition, suffering from anxiety, depression, or trauma, I am dedicated to providing a safe and respectful space to embark on this journey.

This human journey is dynamic and asks so much of us at times. Many of us find ourselves struggling internally or in our relationships and it is these moments that I am here for you. Like most of us, I imagine you want freedom from inner oppressive paradigms, an ability to cultivate and utilize resources that help you navigate swift currents or unknown terrain, and perhaps above all to be deeply understood.

I believe that humans inherently possess the ability to grow and change, and I want to work collaboratively with you to identify deep rooted narratives, build on your existing strengths, and make the changes you want to make in your life. If you are suffering from trauma, mental health issues, relationship issues, or are challenged dealing with the stressors of daily life, we can work on it together.

Human beings have a remarkable capacity to face and overcome life's challenges. When we successfully steer ourselves through these passages, we can emerge with new insights, skills and resilience to make future hardships less hard. Some challenges instead leave us hopeless, confused, or fearful: depression saps our strength, anxiety overpowers our nerves, unexpected life changes or transitions don't go the way they should, or a sense of unfulfilled potential makes us feel we are letting ourselves down.

Life threatening experiences sometimes affect us long after the danger has passed. If you find yourself moving through the world in fear, avoiding situations that remind you, even remotely, of the past, EMDR can help. EMDR addresses the cycle of triggering and avoidance that can be so painful and disruptive. The typical course of EMDR is 1-10 sessions. It may sound unlikely that such powerful memories can soften and lose their hold in just a few sessions. But that is what you can expect from EMDR. It is why EMDR is the treatment of choice for PTSD.

I have been in the field of psychology since 1985. I am licensed as Marriage Family Therapist (1989) and Clinical Psychologist (1992).What guides my work is the belief that everyone, no matter their behavior, is doing the very best they can in that moment. Most often, aberrant behavior is the result of beliefs learned in childhood that are brought forward into adulthood which are no longer appropriate or functional.

Whatever circumstances have led you to seek help, I commend you for taking this step. Seeking help can be hard. No one wants to be misunderstood or judged. The truth is that everyone struggles with difficulties in life at one point or another. Though you've probably tried everything you can think of already to figure things out on your own, the changes you want haven't materialized.

My style as a therapist is warm, collaborative, and authentic. I strive to create an environment in which you feel free to speak openly about yourself and the concerns that bring you to therapy. In working together, I will help you to understand the layers of your experience within the context of your unique identity and lived history. Ultimately, this process offers the potential for movement around what’s stuck. Through it, comes an experience of greater emotional freedom and fulfillment.

I offer support to survivors of traumatic experiences, individuals who have experienced a loss or separation from a loved one, as well as those suffering from depression and anxiety. Emotional pain is as common as physical pain, and can be truly agonizing.

Life can be overwhelming, and it's normal to feel lost or disconnected at times. Sometimes our thoughts can feel too loud, our emotions too big to process on our own. Therapy is a place to move inward and learn to care for yourself in times of struggle and grief. I am here to provide grounding support whether you've experienced a loss, struggle with racing thoughts, or seek personal growth and healing. Together we will create a safe container for self-exploration to help understand and embrace all that is you.

Stress, anxiety and depression are common human responses to difficult life events. Current research supports that therapy can help individuals better understand and move through these experiences. In my view there is great potential for healing at any stage in life. I acknowledge that a desire for depth and wholeness is universal - as is the need for meaning. I work mostly with adults, seniors, and family members experiencing adjustment to life changes; including work issues, adult children's struggles, retirement, and loss and grief. ( Please email first and I will contact you sooner than back and forth calls.)

In life we all have opportunities for growth and change. While I believe that we're not meant to stay the same, it's important to acknowledge that growth asks for equal parts courage and surrender. Clients who work with me are ready to withstand the discomfort and messiness of the unknown that often exists between those two. I help clients explore the layers of their stories-patterns, beliefs, hopes or wounds that shape how they see themselves & the world around them. In doing so they are able to build insight, awareness and the confidence to take action steps that create real sustainable change.

I believe the mind knows how to heal. Given the right conditions, our own wisdom guides us back to what makes us feel alive and whole. Therapy can be one of the conditions we need for healing. By becoming familiar with what blocks us and aligning with what we value and love, we begin to untangle the past and create the life we want.
