I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.

Struggling to find your groove? You may need a place where you can just be real, be yourself, and not feel judged when you are trying to navigate life's challenges. I have clients with issues ranging from day-to-day problems to traumatic experiences.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with A Master's degree in Psychology. I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years and have maintained a full-time private practice since 1994. I help adolescents and adults solve the tough problems they face individually as well as the challenges that arise in families, couple relationships, and in the workplace. I focus on solutions, strengths, and skill-building in addressing the sticking points in people's lives.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years in a variety of settings including community mental health and state government employee assistance.

We all want to feel joyful and fulfilled in our lives and relationships. The 30+ years I have been in practice include running treatment centers, teaching / college level, national seminars, and training other therapists. I am licensed as both a clinical social worker and an addictions therapist. My experience and training has allowed me to integrate clinical knowledge with cultural understandings from the elders I grew up with. I help people achieve change through insight and solutions based in consciousness of internal and external conflicts.

We are all gifted with intuition that allows us to have a general recognition of what does and does not serve us in life. However, we sometimes go through things that leave us feeling stuck, powerless, and distrustful of our capacity to navigate our experiences. This can lead to us feeling disconnected from ourselves and we may begin to question our ability to recognize, and fulfill, our own needs and goals. I believe that healing from these difficult experiences lies in 'tuning-in' with ourselves to understand our responses to experiences, how we make sense of those experiences, and how we alchemize those experiences.

I focus on providing clients with respect, empathy, and a collaborative relationship in regards to their treatment with me.

Therapy can be a gift you give your self when you are feeling stuck. Sometimes it helps to speak to someone to get support or another perspective on a problem. Therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to find ways to relieve stress and solve problems. I am a consultant here to assist and guide you as needed. My training in Family Constellation therapy gives me a unique perspective on how intergenerational influences affect present day situations.

I have a strong belief that all individuals are capable of living full, authentic joyful lives. I believe that for many people, mental and physical health can be achieved naturally. If you are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood disorders, low self esteem, body image or eating issues but want to try natural, alternative treatments rather than medication, I would be happy to assist you.
