Have you ever noticed a pattern of behavior that feels rooted in something deeper than you could identify? Fueled by a rich background of social work, teaching, and therapy, I've developed a profound passion for helping people find the "roots" of their difficulties and joining them to make life-changing realizations about themselves and their world.

I entered the counseling field because I like people and have faith in their resilience and capacity for growth -- emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. I see my therapist role as one who comes alongside you, the client, to provide a safe, non-judgmental, caring environment in which you access the wisdom of your best self. I listen, ask questions, encourage you toward your goals, offer suggestions, and gently confront habits or ways of thinking that may be keeping you from greater happiness. When it seems appropriate, I employ my sense of humor, believing -- like Reader's Digest -- that laughter really is great medicine.

My clients present with a variety of concerns including mood concerns, needs for healthy coping tools, substance use issues, goals for improving relationships, and processing through trauma history. I offer individual, couples, and family counseling and use a variety of research-based methods including DBT, CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Addictions Counseling, Trauma-Informed Counseling, and others in order to support those who wish to explore their strengths and weaknesses, explore potential for change, and put change plans into action. I also have a history of work with individuals dealing with psychosis and other disabilities.

In my 50+ years of life experience and 25+ years of work as a therapist, I have learned that life is hard and at times painful. That we at times endure great suffering, we get stuck, and unable to move forward on our life’s journey or unable to feel the connection to our Source, to life, to our relationships with others, or to find joy. This is common and universal in our life experience. There are things that we do, conditioned physical responses, unhealthy thought patterns and ruminating on story lines which can amplify our suffering, contribute to our being stuck and interfere with our ability to experience the joy of living.

Sometimes it is helpful to talk to a professional, to gain perspective or hear a different point of view. In my office you can be free to express private thoughts and feelings, in a safe, non-judgemental, confidential environment. With compassion, encouragement and humor, I will help you examine the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contribute to the current distress in your life, and to offer suggestions on how to make changes. I feel very fortunate to say that I love what I do for a living, and that I have a passion for encouraging and facilitating personal growth.
