"There are a number of reasons people choose to seek out therapy: grief and loss, an unexpected crisis, or a difficult life transition just to name a few. But when you are dealing with increased stress or feeling "stuck," it can be even more difficult to manage life's challenges or utilize former ways of coping in an effective way. Whatever your reason for seeking out therapy, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space to explore existential questions, gain a fresh perspective, and build hope that change is possible."

"I work with individuals and couples who are motivated to work toward personal growth and development. A healthy life is full of transitions, change, and growth.

Through a collaborative therapeutic process, we can identify and explore issues in a nonjudgemental space and move you toward a life that is more fulfilling."

"Despite the important role of sex in relationships, many of us were never taught how to enjoy it or how to talk about it with partners! In fact, many of us have internalized unhelpful ideas about sex & performance. Throughout my work, I have learned that many people feel confused, lost & ashamed when it comes to sex. I strive to help everyone achieve sexual fulfillment because it IS a healthy & natural part of relationships & life. I take a sex-positive, non-judgmental approach- "sexual fulfillment" will look different for every person & relationship because we all have our own unique preferences!"

"For therapy to be effective, it needs to be real, honest, compassionate, and focused on the client's goals. That is what you will find with me. Over the years, I have found a common thread among my clients: they long to feel safe, loved, and accepted by those around them. When those feelings are not met, life can seem overwhelming and depressing. Finding connections, learning skills, overcoming traumas, dealing with grief, helping your marriage thrive -- these can be great stepping stones in living life to the fullest. Together, we can find ways to achieve this goal."

"I believe that almost all change that occurs in therapy comes from forming a safe therapeutic relationship, and in the context of that relationship increasing your awareness of self, challenging your old beliefs, establishing appropriate boundaries in relationships with others, and experiencing and letting go of old pain. My task is to support you in that process. I tend to be active in therapy. I ask questions, offer observations, and look for patterns in the client's life. However, I believe the client is the final expert on themselves, and I trust in their unique healing process."

"My ideal client is someone who has an intention to change.
During my 25 years as a practicing therapist I have encountered a wide range of issues. Having worked with a large number of clients to the point of solution, I have concluded that in the end, the core of helping people is to listen. Effective listening gives me a deep understanding of their current situation. I can then gently point them toward getting more of what they want. My experience and compassion have often proven to be crucial elements for our success. This is the work of my life."

"Empathic listening and reflection are key to the therapeutic process and help create a safe, nonjudgmental, and confidential environment. I work with clients to find a balance of support, listening and active interventions that help you seek the outcome you're looking for. One goal, in this collaborative work, is to facilitate an awareness of long-standing patterns that may not be working for the life you envision."

"Taking the time and effort to increase self-awareness and explore your behavioral patterns and thoughts can be one of the most valuable things that you do in your life. Seeking therapy is a sign of personal strength, not of weakness. Therapy is one method to explore how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors influence your daily choices and relationships. Working with a licensed therapist can provide the objective and knowledgeable feedback needed to identify specific barriers, define and develop goals and gain the valuable skills and confidence to make that change."

"Wherever you find yourself, I would consider it an honor to journey with you and support your innate capacity to heal. I believe that when we explore the stories that have formed us, woven with emotional complexities such as anxiety, fear, and doubt, we can emerge with a new sense of hope, awareness, and softness towards ourselves and others. This exploration can often be scary to embark upon alone. Therapy offers a unique, safe space to explore the complexity of our stories in a way that is fruitful and less frightening."
