You are looking for guidance and support to help you get out of the stuck place you are in right now. You have tried many different things, but keep getting the same result. You are ready for change.

Everyone has problems. We cannot control the circumstances or people that show up in our lives, but we can decide how we are going to respond to them. Not knowing how you feel, what you think or what you want contributes to confusion, frustration, anxiety and depression. Establishing your own authentic self, as opposed to what others want you to be, can be a difficult task. Developing assertive communication skills and understanding your own emotional boundaries are essential to managing distressing symptoms and situations. I can help you take charge of your life and create the one you want.

Life gets challenging and sometimes, no matter what you do, you feel stuck with nowhere to turn. You feel isolated and lost. Hope, healing and self-discovery are my passions.

For the last 7 years, I have been helping children, adults and families sort through pain and trauma in order to make sense of their life story.

Therapy is a process which affirms life and growth and a better version of ourselves. To be a therapist grants the privilege of aiding in that process. I am a seasoned therapist with a diverse clientele and very broad and deep clinical experience. I seek to join with clients in ways that are not only effective but which take into account the specific person or relationship,situation and need. I invite you to call if you would like to know more about my practice or schedule an appointment.

Life can often feel overwhelming. At times that feeling seems to be more than we can handle on our own. These times can be really difficult to navigate alone. When relationships that we count on fall apart, emotions get out of control, and our strategies for just feeling okay seem to do us more harm than good, reaching out to someone for help can be a powerful first step in getting things back in balance.

I am grateful to have been a part of helping so many individuals, couples, and blending families resolve their issues over the past 35 years. While the experience has honed my therapy skills, each new person or relationship is unique and requires exploring solutions that fit their individual personality.

Do you want to feel better but the things you are trying are not working anymore? It can feel overwhelming as is making the call to get help and find a therapist that fits with your needs. In this time of uncertainty and ever increasing chaos and doubt, I believe I can be of help to pivot, think outside the box, and help you in your process of progress towards living a better life.
