Do you have difficulty trusting others or maintaining close relationships with friends and romantic partners? Do you struggle to manage your emotions when you feel stressed or overwhelmed? Do you often experience feelings of self-doubt? This is not uncommon, especially if you grew up in a household in which one or both of your parents suffered from mental health issues, either treated or untreated, or they had certain traits (lack of empathy, difficulty regulating emotions, unpredictable moods, narcissism).

I have been in private practice for 10+ years focusing on clients with relationship issues, personal growth, depression, anxiety, and LGBT issues. I view therapy as a collaboration where we discover the areas where you want to make changes in your life and work toward reaching your full potential. I believe it is important that you have a good fit with your therapist, and I begin the process by discussing your unique issues you are bringing to therapy to determine if I can be an effective therapist for you.

Cost is not always measured in dollars and cents, it is spent emotions or wasted energy or lost time; maybe it is time for help!

I believe most of us find ourselves overwhelmed or struggling at some time in our lives. During those times it can be helpful to talk to someone who is encouraging, accepting and understanding of life's challenges. Therapy provides a private, safe, collaborative and warm environment to better understand and navigate difficult transitions or relationships. This journey becomes individualized based on personal goals, values and needs. I am committed to assisting clients develop adaptive coping skills, building on their own inner resources and strengths to live life to their greatest potential where healing, balance, and fulfillment are once again possible.

Suffering can be emotional pain, physical pain, pain caused by love, death, or even loss. Sometimes our suffering can be more than we can bear and we need help to understand the source of our pain and acceptance of it. Very often we are unaware of the thoughts that cause us pain. By becoming aware of the thoughts behind suffering, you can change the thoughts and promote peace. In other words, you can condition yourself to believe and behave differently and eventually suffering diminishes.

I prefer clients who are receptive to looking at their situation as a result of earlier decisions and experiences. I am not judgemental or critical. I try to help clients make sense of their situation.

I use our clinics developed Cognitive-Behavioral (common sense) therapy method which examines how things are perceived and acted on daily. It is most effective when a client defines the goals for therapy, i.e.: “what parts of your life would you like to be more rewarding? Which of life’s relationships do you wish were better?” Together we develop the therapy “work” toward revealing what it is the client does that prevents them from enjoying life as they would like to.
