"At the center of your being, you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want." -Lao Tzu. I believe this to be true for all individuals, though depression, anxiety, and other mental health symptoms can obscure this understanding, leaving us lost and confused along the way. I work with individuals and couples who have deviated from or lost sight of their values, and are looking for guidance in defining and living a life of peace and purpose.

Has trauma, anxiety, or depression interfered with the potential to become the best version of yourself? We often feel defined by traumatic or emotionally difficult experiences that often leave us feeling stuck in place rather than moving forward towards our goals. I’m here to provide a safe, affirming space for you to develop an understanding of yourself to overcome past experiences or fears that define you. Our work together will be met with unconditional acceptance, creative approaches, and the utmost compassion.

For over 20 years as a psychologist I have helped people struggling with a variety of issues including life transitions, relationship challenges, work stress, and recovery from anxiety and depression. My approach is two-fold. I want to address the specific issues that have led you to therapy at this time of your life, and I will use therapeutic approaches that are compatible with your unique personality, problems and learning style. I believe that everyone has the power to reexamine and alter situations and tensions in their lives. Clients describe my approach as caring and compassionate but at the same time straight forward.

How hard is it for you to create balance and focus in a world full of distractions, dishonesty, & dis-ease? And if what I call the "detrimental D's" as stated above contributes to how you act/think/feel, then who or what is really controlling your life & wellbeing? Let me guess: social media, unaddressed trauma, grief & loss, emotional dysregulation, unhealthy boundaries, passiveness, impulsivity, mood or eating disorders, chronic fatigue, aches/pain, anxiety, depression, digestive discomfort, pH imbalances, etc. Talk therapy alone may be unsuccessful or even unappealing, are you interested in exploring something more effective?

Addiction cannot be overcome simply by knowing what it is or acknowledging its presence in your life. Nor can it be squashed by sheer will power. Many of our clients say they have felt that they could "just handle this by themselves," but once they reached out to us and got the help they needed, they realized that even if you can "just handle this alone," no one, including you, should ever have to. By reaching out to us, you are stating you are ready to bring balance back to your life.

Have your relationships been stressing you out or having you feeling depressed, anxious or losing your cool? Do you find yourself feeling hopeless about having the relationships you truly desire (either with parents, family, friends, partners)? Many times people feel alone in their struggles, and no one to truly understand and validate what you feel. Imagine if you were able to confidently respond to triggering situations without the pain, anger, anxiety, or resentment that you might be feeling now.

GPS tells you what to do, where to turn, or tells you how long until you get there. I don't give advice as you could get from family, friends, coworkers, or classmates. I create a confidential, non-judgemental, and collaborative space for you to explore your options, address barriers and obstacles, and help you feel confident about making decisions and changes. We work on building on what you know of yourself and being open to learning more and trying something new. We learn to stay calm and grounded so we know what to do when we're lost or get cut off, and you'll get to know you like your area so you won't need to rely on that GPS
