I am passionate about working with individuals/couples on relationships and personal growth. Many of my clients are adults facing challenges in romantic or family relationships. This may include conflict, sexual issues/addiction or infidelity. I also specialize in working with adults/young adults on issues such as: identifying life purpose, career choices, stress/burnout, loneliness, depression and anxiety. The goal for all my clients is to find freedom, peace, balance and connection. By the time we've completed therapy, clients often tell me that they have found a deeper understanding of themselves and peace in their relationships.

Life can be challenging at times; if your current ways of coping aren’t working it can feel overwhelming and life may seem unmanageable, Sometimes the guidance of a professional can provide you the clarity needed to help you move forward. I work with teens and adults seeking treatment for depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, substance use, codependency and life transitions as well as with families affected by these issues. I enjoy working with parents and their adult children seeking to improve communication and resolve past and current conflict.

"I've often seen life as a big 'school room' in which the lessons can be fascinating, fun, sometimes frustrating, often difficult, and even traumatic. I feel privileged to have served a wide range of individuals and couples, gay, straight, young or old, as they have pursued their journeys toward health, recovery, balance and personal growth. I offer support and reflection, skill building and guidance as people confront and resolve their issues, doing so with as much love, compassion and humor as possible.

Life experiences can impact us in surprising, often difficult and traumatic ways, leaving us feeling out of touch with ourselves and those around us. With over twenty (20) years of experience working alongside individuals and families in a variety of clinical settings, my clinical approach begins with meeting you where you are at, without judgement or preconceived notions. Listening to better understand your story while also creating space for self-reflection and commitment. I share the sentiment of a traveling journalist, who once said, "life begins where our comfort zone ends".

I believe in the power of therapy to be a catalyst for growth, to gain new perspectives for tackling challenges, and to improve dynamics between individuals and within families. However, it all starts with relationship. I am committed to creating an inviting, safe space for my clients. My sixteen years as a progressive educator provide the roots of my growth-oriented approach and are the foundation on which I work to collaborate with clients when learning new skills, new perspectives or processing painful life events.
