“We will all struggle and fall; we will know what it means to be both brave and brokenhearted.” – Brene Brown You are taking the courageous step toward healing and I would love to accompany you in that journey whether you are an individual, couple, or family. While I have the education and 35 years of experience as a licensed therapist, I truly believe that everyone is their own expert and change and progress cannot happen without your insight. I find that, using your experience, and my training, we can find a highly effective vehicle for change.
I use multiple therapeutic approaches but believe strongly in cognitive behavioral therapy (addressing distressing feelings and behaviors by recognizing one's distorted self-talk), and have established my own individualized approach which involves compassion, support, and sometimes humor.
Surviving a painful family trauma myself has allowed me personal insight into the healing journey. I provide concrete guidance and suggestions while always welcoming your contribution and increased independence in this process. I very much look forward to working with you.
