“The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.”- Frank Herbert. I’ve been given this privilege, to meet great people who wish to innovate themselves. I have a strong understanding of relationships and self perception. I have particular insight on improving negative self image, strengthening relationships, moving past unresolved conflicts, and guiding those who feel unhappy, despite their achievements. I have well rounded experience with helping couples, families, and individuals, so we'll meet in a way that makes sense for you.

I offer a menu of treatment options, including talk therapy, skills training and expressive techniques such as art, mindfulness and imagery that allow transformation to occur within the body and mind. Insight is gained, old stories are released and your authentic self emerges.

Chances are, you have happened upon this website because you are looking for something to be different: a feeling, a relationship, a thought, a mood... Together, we will determine what needs to change by looking outside ourselves (exploring roles, rules, connection, boundaries, communication, and support) and by looking within ouselves (exploring thoughts, feelings, coping skills, internal dialogue, and how we've made meaning out of different experiences). Through the process of learning, accepting and changing, something inherently will be different...and you will feel different.

Feelings of anxiety and depression are signals. They are NOT your fault. They tell us about unresolved and repressed feelings originating from painful situations - past or present. They usually occur either in the work arena or in relationships or both. Unresolved events can block development and subsequently produce a sense of despair. I specialize in getting to the 'root' of issues; helping to resolve that which has not been adequately dealt with, thereby facilitating development to resume.

While I believe that most of us attempt to manage the best we can given our current circumstances, struggles and challenges can still seem insurmountable. I want you to know that change is possible, but doing it alone may feel like an added burden. I am hoping for the opportunity to work collaboratively with you to navigate the challenges at hand. Within the context of psychotherapy, I believe that change and healing begins by ensuring the goodness-of-fit of the therapeutic relationship; which is a connection that develops through a shared understanding of the experiences of the human condition.
