Throughout life, there are phases when we lose our voice. We forget what our goals are, we don’t know which direction is the right one, and we feel stuck. Many people get lost in trying to find perfection, and you forget the joy of being imperfectly you.

You may be looking at this profile because you feel you've run out of options. Maybe you've been wrestling with overwhelming anxiety or depression, or you feel trapped in your mind and spiraling in ways you know aren't healthy. Perhaps you feel pressure--from within yourself or from the people around you--to be "put together," but you find yourself hiding the real turmoil going on under the surface. No matter the reason, I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to enter this space and begin this work.

Experiencing uncomfortable emotions such as shame, anxiety, sadness and anger often leave us feeling stuck and out of control. It doesn't have to be that way. With patience and gentleness, we will focus on emotional and psychological growth to facilitate a sense of balance. I have been working in the mental health field for 7 years and my focus has been on working with teens and adults who are being called to go deeper and explore the “whys” of their life; those who are struggling with trauma, grief and loss, anxiety and depression. Those who are searching for profound change and want to shift from surviving to thriving.

While many people seek therapy at times of great difficulty, I believe that therapy can also be a place to build skills and create practices that sustain lifelong happiness and fulfillment. As a transformative life coach and therapist, my goal is to guide you to find your way back to emotional balance, wherever your starting point may be. I am committed to helping you access your inner strength and courage, embrace your process, develop meaningful mutual relationships, and let your authentic human spirit shine.

Hello. I am a seasoned psychotherapist with 38 years of humbling and varied experience. My style is engaging and kind. Please know that when you initially call, together we will schedule an initial one session consultation with no pressure to continue/or not. The purpose of this initial meeting is for me to get enough information to get a sense of you and what you are looking for and for you to get a sense of me and to ask any questions you might have. After this session, I will give you my impressions. Based on the information shared, I will make specific recommendations. Together, we will figure out which direction is best.

My approach is best described as "skills, not pills." I will help you think about your problems differently and develop strategies to handle them more effectively. I provide psychotherapy to treat a variety of life issues and concerns, including: anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting issues, and stress. I'm a very experienced and sex-positive sex therapist. My orientation is as an integration of cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and insight-oriented with a strong mindfulness component. My style is warm and active. I strive to be both compassionate, and honest.

Life is unpredictable. Do you feel like you are on a rollercoaster...more downs than ups? When times are good, it can feel easier. But when times feel difficult, have you lost pleasure in the things you would normally enjoy? Are "what-ifs" feeding your anxieties and plaguing you with doubts? What's getting in the way? Have you or your family been impacted by addiction? Are you experiencing job stress, family tension, or marital friction? Perhaps you sense frustrations and stress are mounting. Sometimes these challenges turn us upside down and shatter our lives into broken pieces. You are not alone, and help is available to you.

When you realize you're struggling at some point in your life, that awareness indicates an opportunity for growth. Reaching out for assistance is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of your strength. It shows your readiness to address what's needed so you can move through the challenge at hand. Stress, anxiety, past traumas, life transitions, relationship challenges, etc., can knock anyone off balance.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse or life challenges and you have reached a crossroad in your life, where you may feel troubled or unclear, therapy can be the place to help you reassess and refocus. My primary goal is to provide a safe, empathetic and warm environment to encourage personal exploration and growth. I assist clients to find relief from life's challenges so they can give themselves the life they truly deserve.
