Are you in crisis? Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or sad? Is your teen or younger child having difficulties? Perhaps you have struggled with anxiety, fear, sadness, loneliness, and difficulties in relationship. My intent is to help you discover what you want to be different in your life and then find ways to make those changes.

I am here to listen and offer guidance in helping heal the wounded heart, mind, and body. I strive to empower clients achieve balance and reach the personal growth that can bring satisfaction in life. Seeking support from a therapist happens for various reasons. Sometimes, a life-changing crisis, transition, or past trauma causes undue stress, anxiety, depression, pain, anger, or other strong states of feelings and the person decides to no longer confront their troubles alone. By working collaboratively on defined goals, my hope is that you will obtain the relief and life fulfillment you seek.

From “tying the knot” to being “tied down,” we often think of relationships as two unmoveable units bound together. And this can be the case… but it doesn’t have to be. Relationships can grow, change and evolve but, sometimes we need to untangle things a little bit to allow for forward movement. While both you and your partner are, and will be, in this together, a successful relationship always begins with you. After all, all of your relationships with others are a reflection of your relationship with yourself. You must be able to find your truest and most authentic state, before you can ever reflect that outwards.

When life feels overwhelming or unsettling, we often need someone who can consider our situation with more objectivity than we possess. I have been a psychologist for over 20 years and believe in the power of therapy to (1) help us navigate challenging times and (2) learn new strategies that help us reach our potential. I begin every first session with the same opening: "Tell me why you're here and how I could help." Then I ask the clients to tell me their stories. I love listening to people's stories because our stories remind us of where we have been and give us a context for the current and future chapters of our lives.

Please visit my personal website to get a better feel for me. Psychotherapy begins with noticing what goes on inside your mind and body. I will help you to recognize and make sense of different aspects of yourself, including your unique patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting. Together, we will examine how the events of your life continue to shape you. With a clearer understanding of who you are, you will have more freedom to deliberately guide your life and increase its meaning and joy.

I welcome the opportunity to assist you as you work through whatever life challenges you are facing. I have had the privilege of working in the field of psychology for three decades.

Being a psychologist allows me the privilege to participate in and witness the inspiring process of my clients as they journey towards a happier and more fulfilling life. Therapy is not just for those individuals in deep despair or experiencing serious mental illness. If you are human, have a family of origin, and life experience up until this point, you qualify! Our unique pasts come with opportunities for growth through hard work, self confrontation, and the courage to face whatever pain follows you into the office. Rather than avoiding pain, facing it can be a path to reaching full potential.

The current unprecedented state of our world has presented many challenges and taken a toll on mental health and wellness, triggering the body's stress response, de-activating the immune system, and putting our mind/body in survival mode. This has the propensity to escalate anxiety, depression, addiction, and disease and reactivates outdated coping skills and keeps our body in fight or flight. Let's work together to create a strong support system to manage and navigate the stress and uncertainty and minimize the toll on our mental health, physical health, and relationships, and empower ourselves for the future.
