Welcome! Making the decision to start a therapeutic relationship takes courage. I'm so glad you are here. I believe that the therapeutic relationship must be rooted in safety, trust, openness and collaboration. I believe we as humans have adapted based on a lifetime of experiences, and I strive to help each person embrace acceptance of the unique being that they are, while supporting motivation and goals toward change.
I am passionate about working with adults and couples experiencing life transitions, grief, loss, impacts of a serious illness, painful relationship dynamics and political trauma. I approach my work with a non-judgmental, holistic, strengths-based approach to explore thought and behavior patterns that may contribute to blocked growth or healing.
You are unique and important. Therapy is a gift we give ourselves, and the payoffs of the work are huge! You deserve the gift of your own personal, focused attention. The resulting personal satisfaction and contentment will be the reward you take along for the rest of your life's journey. It would be my honor to partner with you in your investment in YOU!

I often use S.A.F.E. EMDR in my work. This is a gentle, affirming approach that invites us to explore how the things you may not like about you are often the very skills that you learned to use because they have been protective to you in some way. When you can understand and appreciate your personal resiliency you can create space for appreciation, acceptance, validation, and desired change.
