The assumptions we hold about our realities are usually helpful...until they're not. When we have problems, emotional or otherwise, I believe it's because something does not fit within those parameters, does not follow these assumptions. If you're feeling ineffective, impotent, or inadequate, it is usually due to holding onto assumptions that are no longer useful. I employ a cognitive approach to help you create a new reality, a new context, wherein these problems can no longer exist. However, I base my practice on your personal needs; reaching your goals my primary focus, so every session and patient is different.

I do therapy backwards. I help people first find acceptance of what's challenging them, and focus on making that feeling of discomfort feel safe. I believe that allowing the experience of the full range of human emotions is key to reclaiming and strengthening our emotional resiliency. We can accept the presence of discomfort and feel joy, while identifying and making changes based on who we want to be or know we are. My therapy practice is based in an understanding of the nervous system, mindfulness, and the ways we all experience and react to trauma and distress.

Sometimes we can struggle with emotions or behaviors that bother us, and we think to ourselves, "Why can't I just deal with it?". Somehow, we feel worse now, because in addition to having feelings that bother us, we're judging ourselves negatively. If this sounds like you, I would like to help you tap into your inner wisdom and get in touch with what is really going on for you in a way that is free of judgment and liberates you to decide how to be the best version of yourself.

A personal statement... so many things to say, lets make it short. If I were to use one word, it would be trust. A client needs to feel comfortable with their therapist and trust that their feelings and experiences will be validated. A client also needs to trust that their therapist knows what they are doing and has the education and experience to help. I have been in the field over 30 years and would like to think I have helped numerous clients with issues related to depression, anxiety, change of life transitions and addictions.

Healing starts with safety, and I value creating a genuine connection with all of my clients. My practice focuses on supporting those navigating the persistent cycles of burnout and overwhelm. I deeply understand the mental toll of over-thinking, decision fatigue, and the weight of managing high expectations. I also understand wanting to move from this state of survival into a life that feels more meaningful, whole, and intentional.
