As I assist you through your therapeutic process, together we can shed the doubt and empower you towards love and self-acceptance. "

"The only thing scarier than change, is thinking things will never change. We love our partner, yet we fear love may not be enough. The relationship seems stuck. We constantly miscommunicate. We fight even when there’s nothing wrong. It doesn’t have to be like this and we don’t have to find someone new to have a new relationship. I honor the courage and strength it takes to ask for help. Together we will slow down the process, identify harmful relational patterns, and replace those dysfunctional patterns with new more satisfying interactions. "

"Life today is often busy, with competing demands and expectations that can be very stressful. There are life changes we cannot always prepare for - health challenges, family conflict, economic shifts, personal loss, and more. As stresses mount, we can become stuck and find our ways of coping are not enough. We may turn to family or friends, and find that is not the help that we need. There may be no one we can turn to, as the burdens become too difficult to bear alone. If that is your situation, you may be wondering if talking with a therapist might help you navigate your way."

"I welcome adolescents and adults who are ready to begin or continue their processes of healing and path finding in this challenging and wondrous life.
I work with clients in a variety of ways. One of my primary approaches is to address the beliefs that each person has internalized during his or her life. These beliefs direct our choices.
Erroneous beliefs about self, others, and the world at large put limits on us and hold us back from healthy relations and personal empowerment.
My professional commitment includes honoring my clients' diverse world views as they work toward improving their lives."

"Psychotherapy works when you're supported by a trained trusted professional. I may be that person. Is something not working well in your life? Is it time to dig deeper and seek support needed to help you find more joy?
We all have stress and some of us have trouble handling that stress. I will work with you through nonjudgmental support and understanding, to help you better understand who you are, how you got there, and whether a few changes to your thinking and behavior might help you find the joy you are missing and to better manage your stress."
