It is often when we feel the most overwhelmed __ when we have "tried everything we know" to feel better, to make changes, to break out of bad habits or unhelpful behavior patterns __ that we find ourselves the most open to growth and change. This is the purpose of psychotherapy. To provide us with the opportunity to open to the process of self-discovery __ to explore our thoughts, our feelings, and our behaviors and to find or regain our essential wholeness and sense of well-being.

I specialize in children, adolescents, individuals and couples. My approach to therapy is based on the premise that each person has the ability to lead a fulfilling and productive life. Stress, lack of knowledge, losses, family and societal pressures all affect our self-portrait. Therapy is a safe place where a person can develop a more accurate and healthy view of one self. Our self-image and relationships are not static: they are dynamically changing. My approach includes a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral, Person-Centered, and Family Therapy.

As a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT), I enjoy helping people find their way. I know that people often struggle in relationships. Relationships are hard and marriages can falter. Teens are often difficult and hard to understand. Kids can be challenging. People can get stuck in jobs doing work that is not fulfilling. They long for a change but don't know how to move forward. Are you experiencing any of these problems? I can help you see a different perspective so you can make new connections with yourself and others.

Everyone has a story. Some stories are happy and times of celebration, while others are disappointing and filled with grief. How is life defining you so far? We are intended to live life to our fullest. I believe therapy can be a positive and enriching experience for anyone. Through the development of a safe and trusting relationship, we can begin the journey of reaching goals, finding meaning, healing, and growth.

I have had the honor of working with adults/couples that have been wounded as children which can create wounded attachment patterns in their present life(s). Because these wounds can be experienced so young, an individual can be unaware of the pain and anger these unhealthy patterns bring to their present lives/relationships. The courageous adults that I have been privileged to support and help heal from situations of early trauma/abuse, whether it be inconsistent care-taking, abandonment, rejection, etc., have achieved success in facing all of life's challenges as a "whole" self versus a "partial" self.

*Please note: At this time my practice is full.* It's a time of overwhelm, and great uncertainty. Of change, and resistance. Many folks are struggling personally, and we seem to have little power to change the course of the current health crisis, or our political realm. Therapy with an empathetic professional can help during these trying times. Clients find me a compassionate and inspiring change-agent. We must find hope where we can and continue to work for change both personally, in our communities, and in the world. I offer a sliding scale rate for private pay clients and am on several insurance panels. Contact me for more info.

Our ideal client appreciates investing in the counseling process and knows its benefits. They value ongoing learning and personal growth. They understand a relationship with self, God and others is foundational to functioning well and handling the challenges of life. Our ideal client agrees to invest their trust in us (because we are trustworthy) and will dive deep to grow and be transformed into the best version of themselves. They know that whether they are ideal or not, they are also broken as human beings and are fully loved and appreciated in the midst of however they are!

You’re finding it more and more difficult to hold it all together. After pushing down your emotions and feelings for so long, there is all of a sudden very little space to hold anything else. You’re forgetting things, it’s hard to concentrate, you’re irritable, your body aches. There are times when you feel you could jump out of your skin from the racing thoughts, and there are times where you want to crawl under a rock to escape the overwhelm. What has always worked in the past is not even touching these feelings.
