One thing in life is certain, life doesn't unfold like we thought it would. I have over 22 years of experience. I have worked in a mental health hospital, adolescent boys ranch, Cancer Treatment Center, counseling office and counseled as a pastor. My goal is to provide a secure place to offer help, hope, and healing. My mission: to assist clients in cultivating relationships that promote freedom, intimacy, engagement and truth. I meet with individuals, couples and families experiencing emotional, relational, spiritual, and marital distress by providing a broad range of high-quality mental health services that promote wholeness.

I believe we all have the ability to live meaningful lives. And that we all have the potential to heal past traumas, develop new strategies for coping, and grow into the people we want to be. As a therapist, I meet you where you are and, without judgment, maintain a deep sense of curiosity about you and where you want to go. Therapy can play a critical role in unearthing patterns and fully exploring the path that led you to this moment. It can also help you map the way forward through understanding, discovery and clarity. I consider it a privilege to help you along this journey.

I believe that in times of profound suffering, we search for meaning and purpose. After loss, we may need specialized support to navigate what is for many of us a forever changed landscape. It is natural to feel stuck and alone, lost, anxious or depressed. In therapy, we will explore and be with your grief in no predetermined format, while also reorienting to possibilities, new paths forward, and values. I truly believe that we can learn to survive traumatic losses and to experience joy and the richness of the present again while investing deeply in relationships. I am honored to witness your philosophical and spiritual journeys!

Navigating life's various challenges can feel deeply overwhelming at times, and the idea of reaching out for help can be daunting. Therapy can provide a safe, helpful space for you to learn more about yourself and how you relate to the world. I believe that we are all capable of a deeper understanding of self, which can help us gain more insight into our struggles and how we coexist with them. I approach each session with the strengths-based understanding that every client is the expert on themselves and their own life.

Ever think: "How did I end up here?" or "I never imagined {life event} would happen to me!" You are not alone! We can all relate to these sentiments. Most people do not end up in therapy because circumstances are unicorns and rainbows. Are you struggling with loss, or making meaning out of events that have left you feeling uncertain, shaken, in agony? Do you feel like you are starring in a scene from the film Ground Hog Day, where life is a series of frustrating, repeating events? You can make a successful transition to break this cycle, whatever that personal change is. You will get a sense of control back. A little Zen. Some hope.

Discover how therapy can enlighten your outlook on life and aid in the discovery of your best self. It is my goal is to create a safe and open environment for couples, individuals, families, and athletes to explore and conquer the many challenges life often brings. Some of the common issues I work with clients on include relationship challenges, trauma, couples and marital counseling, performance enhancement for athletes, life transitions (e.g. marriage, new baby, retirement, empty nest), self-empowerment, and increasing confidence.

In the vast tapestry of human experience, every thread, every story is unique. To me, you are the ultimate narrator of your story. My role?

I am out of the country on a research sabbatical until July, 2018. I will be taking new clients after July. I work with depression, eating disorders, and relationship problems. I strive to provide a safe place in which individuals can begin to change old patterns of doing things. I strongly believe in our resilience and ability to heal from trauma and our own unskillful choices. No one wants to be miserable and stuck, but sometimes hidden forces contribute to emotional problems. Biological, psychological, and social factors can all play a part in creating emotional health.

Since 2010, my intention in working with my clients has been to hold a safe and confidential space that supports self-exploration and awareness, connection, curiosity, and personal growth. I understand that seeking out and accepting help can be uncomfortable and that it takes bravery to be vulnerable, and vice versa. I focus on building secure and trusting therapeutic alliances with the people I get to work with to create a personalized approach to their unique needs and goals. I believe that we are each the experts in our own lives and that the catalyst of change and healing comes from our relationship with ourselves and others.
