My specialty is helping individuals to work to remove challenges to achieving satisfaction in their lives. Many times we find ourselves stuck in patterns that are self-defeating but seem difficult to change. These may cause us problems in school and work, as well as in our peer and family relationships, and interfere with the enjoyment of pleasurable activities. These patterns may be due to our early experiences within our families, or as a result of challenges faced in adolescence and adulthood. No matter your age or phase of life, therapy can help.

My therapeutic viewpoint is that all clients can change if they have a supportive therapist in a therapeutic environment that is conducive to change. Additionally, they must have the desire to change, set goals, and work on the skills needed outside of the counseling session to create lasting change.

For children and adults with autism, I am familiar with typing to communicate.

You may be feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed by the constant demands of life. Maybe you’re navigating a big change — a new job, a relationship shift, or a major transition — and it feels hard to find your way. Or perhaps you’re stuck in patterns of self-doubt, conflict, or worry that leave you drained and disconnected from the people and goals that matter to you. You want relief from the mental load, but more than that, you want to feel calm, confident, and hopeful. That’s where therapy can help.

I strive to help my clients feel better, enjoy life, develop satisfying relationships, and find personal success. Psychotherapy is often about building or restoring one's inner compass and finding a way to move through life that is fulfilling, meaningful, and satisfying. People are naturally vibrant and healthy. However, our access to that vibrancy often becomes blocked as we adjust to life's challenges. I work to help my clients gain clarity into how and why they have lost access to meaningful parts of themselves and move towards a life that feels more connected and alive.
