What do you want? How do you want to be different? What do you want your life to reflect about you, what you care about, what your values are? Therapists "can" be honest, truthful and direct with clients. I have a commitment to be direct with empathy and compassion to each and every client I work with in my office. Therapy can be solution focused with a clearly defined plan driven by the client. Vague goals, vague results. I shall not make false promises. In my practice, you are purchasing help not window dressing.
My career in behavioral health is my second career. I worked within the retail industry for approximately 20 years - holding positions of store manager, executive buyer, division manager. I have now been practicing for over twenty-three years. If you wish to focus on the" here and now"- that is what we shall do, you drive the therapy. You know yourself.
I understand the struggle when attempting to cope with transitions, loss, betrayal, changes. I understand what hopelessness does to the narrative in one's mind. i know the impact of shame. I also know there is healing and relief. I support you to begin that healing journey now......

I encourage clients to practice mindfulness, awareness of emotional states and cognitive functioning. The ultimate goal is to be less reactive, more conscious, and function from an adult state. My training has been with Pia Mellody, Esther Perel, Brene Brown, and many others.
