(Case load currently full) With over 25 years of experience, I bring a mindful, compassionate and non-judgmental approach to our sessions. I love working with individuals ages 16-106, and will assist you through times of transition and loss, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and the effects of trauma. My goal is to support you in moving beyond self-limiting beliefs and behaviors to strengthen your resources for healing, self-acceptance and a fulfilling life. I also specialize in Forgiveness: helping clients to heal resentments, and hurts towards themselves or others.

My role as a therapist is to facilitate change, help you find the strength and skills to move forward in your life. Life is challenging and complex and can present us with obstacles too hard to face alone. Therapy can provide you with a renewed sense of hope, self-esteem, and positive tools to make changes. I have extensive training in therapies to meet your needs, be it cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed, or solution-focused. Whether you are facing major life transitions, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, or codependency in your relationships, we will work collaboratively to help you reach your goals.

My therapy style has been shaped by my sensitivity and compassion for the suffering of all beings. Over a 30-year career, I have familiarized myself with a range of useful tools to nurture the needs of a diverse population of clients. The overarching model of care I have been most influenced by is a Bio-Psycho-Social perspective. My interest in an individual's religious and spiritual inner life began before I became a therapist. I continue to find meaning in exploring mysteries that are inherently difficult to decipher but raise important questions about what it means to be a human being struggling with turmoil and change.

Is your anxiety or stress feeling out of control? Is weight loss seeming impossible? Is insomnia contributing to daytime sleepiness and nighttime anxiety? Is your mood and/or lifestyle stopping you from taking good care of your medical condition? Are key relationships causing stress? Together, we can address the problem, using scientifically-validated treatments within a supportive and respectful environment. The mind-body connection provides an important framework for treatment. My background and training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I use other research-validated treatment approaches as they fit your situation.

I believe people sometimes underestimate the power of talking. Having someone listen with an attentive and empathetic ear can be a cathartic experience. I practice with the philosophy of working to fully understand and appreciate each and every client I work with. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space where you can say anything. I am fully committed to helping others achieve the goals they set for themselves.

You come to therapy seeking change and personal growth. You want more contentment with yourself and your life. Something is not working well for you. It might be relationships. It might be school, career, or retirement. It could be that you find your thought or behavior patterns are not helpful. You might have had a loss or trauma and need to heal. You might be experiencing a life change or issue that is very challenging. Maybe you have symptoms of depression or anxiety that you have been unable to resolve. We work together to clarify your therapy goals.

Working at Aware Recovery Care (ARC), I treat clients from all different areas of life. The In-Home Addiction Treatment approach at Aware Recovery Care is an individualized face-to-face program that brings treatment to you, on your own schedule. With our unique multidisciplinary community-based treatment teams, we individualize each client's experience to include any and all pre-existing therapeutic and medical relationships. I and Aware Recovery Care see addiction as a chronic disease, and it is unique to each individual, and so should be the treatment.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” - Carl Jung. The philosophy that guides my approach as a clinical psychologist is the unwavering belief that people have limitless potential to heal and grow. My hope for those with whom I work is increased self-awareness, enriched relationships, deeper emotional engagement, and healthier, more flexible functioning. My goals in providing therapy are to help people understand themselves and their concerns more fully and to facilitate the development of new skills for coping with what's troubling them.

My practice primarily treats children, adolescents, and adults through the modalities of individual,family therapy and parental guidance. I approach each client's issues, situations with care and compassion in order to create a non-judgemental space so they can develop their strengths and gain new insights into their symptoms and behaviors. I enjoy the process of building the therapeutic relationship as I believe that it is through relationships people can heal. Much of my experience is treating trauma; anxiety; mood disorders; and transitional issues such as divorce, adoption, loss, and relational issues.

I'm a holistic compassionate therapist, honored to work with many devoted clients in a field I've enjoyed for more than 30 years. Individual clients include adults and seniors. Foundationally, I work based on relational and empowerment models. Within the therapeutic setting, work begins with mindful development of safe trusting client/therapist relationships. During client/therapist conversations, clients may freely express thoughts, feelings & events that interfere with ongoing positive growth & positive quality of life. Clients often learn new skills to support self-care that assists in understanding & release of discomfort.

A wise doctor once wrote: "It is more important to understand the person who has an illness than the illness a person has." This is even truer for emotional problems than physical ones. Likewise, without understanding the context of a person's life and family, past and present -- one cannot really begin to know the person. I have worked for many years with teenagers, men and women of all ages with addictions, family and relationship conflict, and the universal problems of depression and anxiety. Certainly there are commonalities among the problems they present, but it is the uniqueness of each of my clients that leads to change.

Offering a compassionate, safe place in which you can explore current life challenges that may be difficult to face alone. Relationship conflicts, separations, loss, job changes, eating problems and other addictions, medical illness, mid-life and other transitions often require working in partnership with someone who can help you find your own inner resources to move forward in your life. I have thirty-six years of experience as a medical practitioner working with diverse populations, including college students, young, middle age and older adults. I bring that experience to my psychotherapy work, recognizing the whole person, mind, body and spirit.
