Life is full of change and the unexpected. Have you been blindsided by one of the many curveballs life can throw at you? Do you feel overwhelmed, lost, or directionless? Realigning after a huge change- be it the loss of a loved one, separation/divorce, job change, health shift, or even college graduation- can be a challenging process. I love to help people adjust, grow, and transform though these shifts, seeing the forest through the trees to come to a fuller, more centered perspective on all that life still has to offer. Finding our way back to peace can be demanding and we could all use some support in this process.

Within therapy, my intention is to meet my clients where they are at in life through an empathetic, genuine approach. I help my clients develop their own tools in their personal toolbox in order to reach their goals in their healing journey.

I specialize in using an integrative, mind-body-spirit approach to help individuals get back in touch with their own inner source of wisdom, creativity, and empowerment. Reconnecting with the deeper parts of yourself is often the key to overcoming challenges and moving forward again. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore what is troubling you, as well as ways to heal and grow that reflect the potential of your True Self. I am passionate about seeing my clients use this process to make positive changes and create the life they want.

My ideal client is an individual who is willing to work. I have a passion for helping clients learn more about who they are and how to fully accept both the good and the bad with in them. This understanding of who we are, will always lead to a healthier state of mind. For me there is no greater reward then seeing a client reach that AH-HA moment that true inner growth and self-awareness connects.

"I have walked through many lives, some of them my own, and I am not who I was, though some principle of being abides, from which I struggle not to stray." These lines, from "The Layers", by Stanley Kunitz, hint at the themes we will explore if you decide to enter psychotherapy with me: Who have you been, and who are you now? What principle of being has shaped your life's journey thus far? Where and when did you disregard this principle? And how may I support you in your effort to recognize and honor your most authentic self?

Do you sense your life is not on track with your inner yearnings? Are you searching for a more authentic you? My style is comfortable and creative; humor mixed with skill and lots of experience. I am very present in your journey.

Change is inevitable but the process of change can be difficult to navigate alone, whether as an individual or a couple. Often advice from friends or extended family only goes so far, and is not really the kind of help you are looking for when what used to feel comfortable or right no longer feels so good. If you, your partner, or a family member identifies as male you may want to consider a male therapist to gain greater insight and understanding into male issues relating to emotions and communication and to provide greater support for both you and your family.

If you or your child are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, chronic illness, self -esteem concerns, trauma, or are going through a big life or career change, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. You might feel hesitant to seek out help and support for what you are experiencing, but when you do, know that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and creating a more peaceful life. You might have been feeling symptoms for such a length of time, that you are unsure if things can get better. They can. You deserve to live the life you imagine for yourself or your child.
