I have experience with a broad range of issues and encourage an honest, relationship-based approach to therapy. We work together to explore the issues most important to you. I believe that everyone is capable of change, though easy to say, it is very challenging to put into action. Therapy can create a safe space to reflect upon your world and history. It is a mindful process to accept and redefine yourself. It is a space to look at what parts are activated in your life and which parts feel quiet.

Are you ready to transform your relationship with life? Are you feeling confused, anxious, or having difficulty finding your happiness in the midst of life's stressors? We all have problems, habits and "quirks" of personality and wonder sometimes when life gets rough, whether we need therapy or if it would be a good option. When life is getting on top of you, when you begin to feel strong emotions that you didn't know that you had, when you feel lost or hopeless or just want to reach your full potential, then give yourself a chance to seek a new solution. I can help. I am Gottman Level II and EMDR trained.

I have worked in Mental Health for over 24 years, and I am passionate about empowering my clients. I have experience working with individuals and families through all stages of life. I particularly enjoy working with the LGBTQ community and senior citizens.

Currently Accepting New Clients. Life is the journey we take to find ourselves in a search for meaning and purpose. As the roads of life are traveled it is easy to become disoriented, lost, or overwhelmed. Healing can happen when we are able to find our way and reconnect with ourselves and others. I believe this is a collaborative process that is most effectively done through connection and developed awareness. My goal is to help you build a diverse collection of skills to make your journey what you want it to be.

Throughout life we are faced with obstacles that can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed and defeated. At times we may even feel so alone, depressed or hopeless that we begin to think that suicide may be our only option. If this sounds like you--you are not alone! I have helped many clients to manage and overcome these issues, while feeling more empowered and in control of their lives. I understand how hard it is to seek out help. I am here to support you in your journey to change, healing and living a more fulfilling life.

My commitment to social justice work is rooted in compassion, empathy, and raising awareness so that we can all celebrate our similarities and differences. My practice model is hope-filled and research-informed, focusing on attachment, strengths-based, and trauma-informed frameworks. Therapy is about building a safe space, radical acceptance, courageous self-assessment, and shared humanity. This process unearths strength, courage, and insight, highlighting that the client is truly the expert over their own life. A supportive, non-judgmental, and curious relationship is the key to good therapy.

My approach is client-driven and integrative. I start with assessing developmental history, losses and trauma, and behavioral health issues. I then clarify with the client how I can assist them with their identified goals.

You already have, and can unlock, everything you need to live a fulfilling and purposeful life. My philosophy is that the person/people sitting across from me come with primary expertise, experience and wisdom. Each one is a specialist in their own self and their own life, and comes with inherent worth, value and dignity. My priority is to be fully present and aware in order to build trusting relationships, deeply understand, reflect each person's insights/solutions, and offer hope in other possibilities. It's an honor to be a partner and consultant in the process of uncovering hidden resources.

I have twenty years of experience working with individuals and couples in a psychodynamic approach. My orientation includes attachment theory, schema therapy, psychoanalysis, emotionally focused therapy, and mindfulness. My goal is to help you reduce your emotional suffering, better understand yourself, improve your relationships, and become a happier and more relaxed person.

Human development is a lifelong process, where each moment of life, every human being is in a state of personal evolution. By taking consideration of the bio-psycho-social, spiritual, and cultural factors that shape us, clients provide a unique perspective into their identity, as well as finding their place in the world. When events in life cause feelings of anxiety, extreme sadness, feeling stuck, or overwhelm it may become necessary to retrace, or reprocess these moments to develop resolution.

Hi there. "All of You is Welcome Here". You can Not-Want-To-Come-In for therapy & still give me a call. Your curiosity & your skepticism are welcome. This is often the root of conflict for us, right? There is a part of us that is curious, open to change. Yet as we strive to live in concert with our beliefs & values with high hopes to evolve, to be seen, known & understood some illusive, habituated roadblocks reappear. Welcome to the human dilemma. The good news: we can work with ourselves. Support is necessary from time to time. That's natural (like you).

I believe that we're all works in progress, having found this to be true of clients struggling with life changes to clients with the most complicated of problems--even young gang members, in whom I've had the privilege of seeing humanity and goodness. The role of therapist, for me, is one of empowering, bearing witness to life's bewilderment and suffering, and jointly creating a peace of mind and resilience, sometimes in the face of unresolved problems, while honoring one's own truth and rewriting our narratives in a way that makes sense to us as we make meaning to our lives.

Not Currently Accepting New Clients. I believe in the power of voicing one's struggles and fears, no matter how scary or uncomfortable that might be. Do you feel suffocated by depression, anxiety, or the stress of recent events? Do you feel like you’ve tried everything but you just can’t shake it? It can be hard to see how we keep ourselves stuck. Each of us learns to cope with our struggles differently: through humor, isolation, perfectionism, work, alcohol, or seeking the approval of others. After awhile, these things may no longer serve us. You want to be your best self. You want to feel better. I can help you get there.
