Many people struggle with living a peaceful, satisfied, fulfilled life; existing as oppose to living. Living consist of being one’s “best self,” with best being defined by the individual. Although, biological, traumatic, and negative experiences may encourage self-defeating behaviors and thoughts, such experiences are not who a person is. Counseling presents a challenging journey through such experiences to discovering and understanding one’s self to increase one’s quality of life.

I am committed to supporting my clients trust in themselves to make the best choices for their lives. Often old pain, or distorted ideas about who we are get in the way of this trust, so I support the resolution of these issues. Although trained to approach therapy from a Systems perspective, I have trained in numerous other modalities over the 38 years including EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Family Reconstruction, Hypnosis, and Bodywork (Bioenergetics). All this experience broadens the skills for success in assisting clients to reach their goals for Psychotherapy.

Now accepting new clients. Feelings of anxiety, depression, sadness, resentment, disappointment, and grief are moments that can teach us about ourselves - our ability to cope, to heal, to change, and to live fully in the present moment. These feelings are like messengers that show us where we might feel stuck. We respond to these moments based on our past experiences, our patterns, and our sense of self. You want to unlock a renewed sense of self-awareness, learn effective coping skills, and learn how to experience life's transitions with the ability to be present.

Accepting new clients! When I meet clients for the first time - I often hear that they don't know where to begin, how to express what is going on, and are worried they will be judged for what they are thinking. If you are reading this - you probably can relate. Therapy is not always easy and can be emotional and challenging. However, it can also lead to acceptance, peace, understanding, healing, and moving forward with your life in a healthy way.

Life is a journey and we all need to reach out for help at times.

I have lots of positive energy and love sharing practical tools and skills to really help clients reach their goals and empower them to move forward. You've already taken the first step! Can't wait to work with you.
