"What does it mean to be a whole person, to live a healthy existence? Most of our thoughts, feelings, and issues of today have been learned from our experiences - some good, some bad. These thoughts or feelings or issues may affect moods, relationships, beliefs, and self-image. Because they may no longer be working well, it is helpful to consider other ways of thinking and feeling about them. I have worked with people for over 20 years to reevaluate their reactions, responses and attitudes in order to overcome the obstacles to a meaningful and healthy life."

"My work is heavily influenced by the thought of existentialist philosophers and psychologists who see humans as both burdened with and ennobled by a quest for meaning in the face of suffering. Psychotherapy provides a safe and intimate space in which we might expand our capacity to bear suffering and to find meaning within and through it. Depth psychology proposes that the psyche consists of both conscious and unconscious thoughts, impulses, fantasies, and ideas. Symptoms (depression, anxiety, etc.), are more than simply painful indicators of psychopathology but rather messages, pieces of a narrative moving us toward growth and individuation."

"I focus on helping my clients understand and heal attachment issues, processing of trauma, resolving parenting difficulties, and work/life conflicts. My goal is to give my clients a place to feel safe to discuss the stresses and troubles they may be experiencing. Although I counsel people of all ages, I particularly enjoy seeing children under the age of 18. I also like to provide support for parents and help the family achieve regulation by improving understanding and communication between family members."
