Effective psychotherapy includes building rapport, trust, and achieving awareness through a collaborative process where patient and therapist work together to achieve stated goals. It includes evidence-based methods, learning about the issue or disorder, applying solutions and developing skills and strategies to manage emotions and realize your incredible strength and ability to persevere in the face of adversity and find acceptance in loss/grief and life's uncertainties.

Our lives are complicated and busy with very little time to figure out what to do next. That is why when we have issues it can be difficult to see our way out. This is where therapy is helpful; to speak to someone who is caring, accepting and can objectively see both the larger and smaller pictures. Being non-judgmental is the key to allowing people to be heard and allow some healing to begin. Sometimes it just takes validation or a new perspective to make all the difference in your life.

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson “It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.” It is when we are faced with our greatest fears when we are in need of someone who we can trust to hear those fears and assist us with equipping ourselves with life skills/tools to overcome and conquer them. I have over 25 years of clinical experience assisting others on how to achieve their best life. It is my belief solutions to our problems are within us.
