"I believe our destiny is not created by our history. Far too often we let the script of our past taint the next chapter of our life. Are the chains of grief, trauma, addiction, abuse, betrayal, sadness, fear, anger or self-hatred holding you back? I am curious…… What sparkling moments in your life have you forgotten about? What would life look like if you broke free and left all of the labels behind - even just for a moment? Is there a possibility you could awaken from a nightmare and begin to dream differently? What if the rebirth of creativity was possible? What if hope was renewed and slowly a new story began to form? "

"For 20+ years, whether in the capacity of a HS teacher, a university professor, and later as a clinician, I have shared with many students, patients, and colleagues how: "Whatever therapeutic modality we may use, what people really do care for is Kindness.” In this culture of confusion, fear, worry, anxiety, and distrust, many of us long for the comforting and safe presence of Kindness…and Acceptance. So, while journeying together, it is my goal to bring your awareness to the internal and genuine goodness that is within, and for you to begin to see the vivid colors of Life, from the very first session of your therapeutic adventure…"

"More often than not, we can find ourselves cruising on autopilot amidst our busy schedules and various responsibilities. There does not seem to be enough time to take a pause and allow ourselves to “just be.” We may suddenly find ourselves feeling disconnected from others and feeling like we are not living our lives as fully as we would like to. I believe that we strive for a deeper connection to others, our surroundings, and most importantly to ourselves, which is why I believe that therapy can be used as a vessel to explore unfulfilled needs and discover our authentic selves. "

"I hold an assumption that the contexts of people's lives are integral in understanding both the problems that they are up against, as well as the knowledge they have in spite of those challenges. I think about people as more than the obstacles that constrain their lives. Rather than focusing on getting to the bottom or the root of an issue, I am interested in asking questions that can help you think differently about it. I believe people carry with them talents and skills that live just alongside their problems, and make up unique resiliencies that have gone unnoticed and unaccounted for. The therapeutic relationship can be a "

"You see your child or teen struggling and it leaves you feeling frustrated and lost. Every time you think things are getting better, something shifts and you wonder if you are making the right decisions or doing the right things to support your child. Every kid is different and what works perfectly for one, won't work for another. If your child is struggling, and you aren't sure if counseling can help, give me a call. I am happy to help direct you to the resources that your child needs, or get them scheduled for counseling if that will help. "

"I help individuals who feel they are blocked, or at an impasse, professionally, creatively, emotionally or in relationships. These blocks can arise from stressful transitions, anxiety, unexpected or traumatic events as well as internal factors like fear, loss of trust, self-doubt/self-criticism, or depression. Often times we don't know what is causing the impasse and need to follow explorative paths within our history or in conversations that focus on the here-and-now issue and can lead to current changes and solutions. "

"In today's world we are surrounded by constructive and destructive forces. It is easy to get sucked in by the destructive forces such as fear or negativity which can lead to uneasiness, deep sadness, and disappointments. I believe therapy can be a great tool to shift your focus to more constructive forces within yourself, your family, and your environment. Therapy can help you to channel the pain into creation of a peaceful act, whether that's developing greater self-compassion, or untangling any relationship issues."

"Whatever your unique experience is that brought you to seek therapy, I know it has taken multiple attempts and a whole lot of courage. We all desire to be seen and affirmed in our journey to uncover our authentic self(s). It may feel as if there just isn't enough room to allow your whole self to show up, and this creates anxiety and/or depression. Regardless if we are aware of the negative external messages we get, some still seem to find their way into our internal world, and it takes work, support, and self-compassion to confront those messages. "

"Re-connect to yourself and to the world so you can thrive in your relationships, creativity and career. I believe in looking at the whole person, body and mind, to actualize real growth and to discover realistic solutions. For couples you will develop more effective communication and conflict resolution, rekindle intimacy, trust and care, and learn to navigate life and transitions as a team.
