The road to healing is a road that we all take at some point in our lives; the key is to travel with those who enhance the experience, aid in the traversing, and help us to experience the healing within our reach. As an individual, couple and family therapist, I work with you and those with whom you are journeying from a systemic perspective, taking into consideration the rich contexts which shape your life, love, and endeavors. A lot of my work within the community encompasses motivational speaking, facilitating workshops for adults and teens, Ministry, Missions, supporting leaders, and encouraging those who serve in Ministry.

******I offer appointments on Sundays and on weeknights.****** I'm not a stereotypical licensed psychologist. I do not own a clipboard and rarely wear a tie. I am not a bobblehead and I will not ask you, “How does that make you feel?” I am professional yet down to earth and easy to connect with. My goal is to help clients develop skills to not have to see me again by fostering trust, building a therapeutic bond (using humor, at times), and developing a treatment plan with (not for) my clients. I collaborate with others (e.g., family, physicians), when appropriate, to ensure that pieces to the puzzle are not missing.

Your goals for change, happiness, and better relationships are my goals for you, too! Are you seeking deeper connection, relief from anxiety, depression, or eating disorders? YES, YOU CAN change your patterns of behavior and experience the fulfillment in life and relationships you deserve!

I have been an experienced psychotherapist in private practice with more than 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I feel passionate about helping people who feel stuck and unable to achieve their potential in their love and work lives.

Helping people develop themselves, their relationships, and their lives to the fullest is the heart of my work.

If you are reading this, you have already begun your journey towards transformation. Change happens from the inside out. It starts with a desire or longing for something in your life to be different.

This is a time that is different from any other. Many of us have never lived through a pandemic or any other global crisis such as this. It is undoubtedly difficult to isolate oneself and family for extended periods of time. There is some solace knowing you are not in this alone. Face to face contact is risky; therefore, For Me Talk Therapy, LLC is able to provide safe and secure video sessions. Though it cannot take the place of in-person sessions it is a good alternative and can provide you with some comfort, connection, and treatment while many of us are practicing social distancing.

If you feel stuck in a rut, ruminative, or disconnected from your own life, and are seeking an engaged and examined life, psychotherapy can help. I deeply enjoy empowering my patients to know themselves and those around them with greater nuance, depth and honesty. Rather than labeling symptoms in a medicalized, detached way, I work to help patients negotiate complex relationships with themselves and those around them. By identifying patterns and the ways we find ourselves "stuck", psychotherapy can help disentangle these impasses, offering a freer way of being in the world.

The therapeutic process is more than empathic listening and supportive talk. It is a creative vehicle of self-realization, empowerment and change.

When our children struggle to meet the demands of our world, assistance may be needed.

Life transitions offer opportunities for growth and emotional healing. I specialize in helping people cope with anxiety, depression, grief and loss. Managing health conditions including cancer, infertility and chronic illness are among my areas of specialization. I also address a broader range of issues such as couple and family relationships, and parenting.

My aim is to better understand your life experiences and relationships in determining whether they are contributing to or challenging your day-to-day well-being. The relationship we will build will serve as an important piece to increase understanding and where the healing process can begin. Therapeutic goals vary, however, individual insights provide the opportunity for perspective shifts in how we feel about ourselves, our experiences and our relationships. Throughout this process, a majority of my clients find symptom relief as they develop an increased capacity to tolerate and regulate challenging emotions.
