Deciding to see a psychotherapist takes courage. Good news, psychotherapy regularly delivers relief and positive change. My approach to treatment rests in the belief that people are doing the best that they know how, in the moment, and that we all desire to move to a healthier state when possible. As a professional psychologist, I specialize in helping people achieve their desire to move into a healthier state by reducing suffering and increasing wellbeing.

Attending to the health of our relationships within our Natural world, to our relationships with each other, and to the relationship we have with ourselves in supporting living a good, purposeful, path of your Life. Do you find yourself having too many days feeling frustrated, sad, or alone, too many problems in your relationships, or life has left you with unresolved feelings? For over 15 years I have been helping people improve their relationships, deal successfully with problems of living and dying, and move into living fully.

I am a collaborator helping you get the quality of life you deserve. Together, we will work towards the changes you are hoping to make in your life. We'll look at the barriers, the "what's getting in the way" of what you'd like your daily life to be like. My belief about doing therapy with people is that you are the expert in your life. My job is to help you find a stronger connection to your preferred self, and help you untangle from the habits that get in the way of you being more comfortable in your own skin.

Life is beautiful, and sometimes rocky and unpredictable. By nature, humans are collective beings. When we suffer or feel down or lost, we need others - someone to talk to, someone who can offer a healthy perspective and someone who helps us see our own personal good and path again. In my practice, I create a safe and trusting environment, providing people with the emotional support needed to overcome challenging times and make positive adjustments to be and feel your best.

As a caring & experienced psychotherapist, I listen carefully & respond honestly in person or by phone, FaceTime, zoom, Skype. Parental neglect or abuse leaves us with low self esteem, unresolved hurts & insufficient coping skills. Self criticism leads to painful and negative beliefs that cause depression and anxiety. We begin with the formative events in your life & your current issues. By drawing on family systems & psychodynamic principles, I use the latest interpersonal, cognitive & behavioral techniques with an informal and collaborative therapeutic approach that leads you toward greater self understanding & positive steps.

Beginning the journey of self-discovery and healing can be difficult. You may be struggling with a difficult family dynamic, needing support around a sudden loss, or wishing to improve the quality of your relationships. Facing this is truly an act of courage. Individuals have innate qualities and inner strengths that, when nurtured, can help in overcoming these hardships. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can freely express yourself without judgement.

Whether you are experiencing an acute personal crisis or seeking more general self examination, therapy can be an excellent way to obtain clarity and relief. Together we will explore the personal factors contributing to your distress, develop a better understanding of healthy and unhealthy patterns of dealing with your problems, and learn adaptive ways to cope. My goal is to help you increase your skills and enable you to successfully manage your current and future challenges.

Whether you are struggling with a difficult relationship or life has brought you down an unwanted path, I help people to get in touch with their own inner ability to bounce back from challenges through self-awareness and finding blocks to your personal happiness. To me, the most important aspect of therapy is the personal bond we will develop together which will help you with all aspects of your life. I have experience working with children, teens, parents, and families, as well as individuals.
