I aid my clients in achieving meaningful and lasting change by helping them better understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It is my firm belief that clients ultimately do the heavy lifting in helping themselves. While I can guide them through with careful listening and appropriate questioning, it is with their dedication and hard work that they find the answers to a more fulfilling life.

I believe we each have a core part of ourselves that is wise, confident, and desiring of secure connection with others. Single event or repeated traumatic experiences can distance us from this core part and we can find ourselves using coping mechanisms, such as excessive substance use and other self-harming behaviors, that no longer serve us or our relationships. Identifying the needs we are desperately trying to meet and exploring alternate ways to meet them can disrupt the cycle that keeps us feeling defeated and lead us towards more fulfilling relationships with ourselves and those we care about.

In session you will find a warm, thoughtful and considered presence as you take your next steps.

I help people who are struggling with having more for themselves: worried singles & overwhelmed mothers, hurting and angry couples, the overworked professional or under appreciated employee. Stagnation, and even advancement in both career and relationship can produce anxiety or discomfort for anyone. Longer-standing struggles often result from a history of reacting to stress in ways that limit one's ability to attain the "more" that's felt to be missing. I also assist those exploring socio-cultural dynamics within group, class and work settings, and offer clinical consultation to psychotherapists.

I will support you as well as challenge you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and develop the tools to change patterns that may be working against you.

Your work/life balance is out of sync, your relationships don’t make you happy, and you're burned out. No matter how many boxes you keep checking off, you still don’t feel “good enough.” It’s a struggle trying to keep everything together and you aren’t sure you can do it anymore.
