I draw from my diverse background and experiences, including an undergraduate degree in Psychology, thirty years as an artist and creator, and over ten years advocating for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
As a Graduate Marriage & Family Therapist (MFTi), I see individuals from all walks of life looking to grow, evolve, and change. But at the core of who we are as humans is our desire to be loved, to feel connected, and to be accepted. Life is full of ups and downs, wins and losses, trials and triumphs, heartaches and heartbreaks. But love, real love, true love, does conquer all, be it with a partner, a family member, a friend, or yourself.

I have overcome challenging life experiences, including childhood cancer and addiction issues, that have deepened my ability to more fully relate to my clients.
Life has many challenges, and we live in a world that tends to make us feel abnormal if we aren't happy all of the time. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to heal and accept ourselves. Maybe you are feeling out of balance with the pressures of work and/ or personal relationships. Maybe anxiety and stress are causing you to lose sleep, feel depressed and/or to act out with excessive behaviors such as drinking too much or overeating. Maybe you can't control or stop a behavior that causes you shame or regret.

a cancer diagnosis, Lou Gehrig's disease.
Our lives unfold their beauty, Like the petals of a flower, In challenges from circumstances, We find our finest hour. (C. Alexander Simkins). Generally it is in such circumstances that we find our way to a psychotherapist or a need for medication, not when life is smooth and comfortable. Many years of professional practice blended with my own life experiences have given me empathy and understanding that assist me in my relationships with my clients and in identifying with them what is needed to enhance healing and recovery. I am a nurse practitioner in psychiatry and mental health with a focus on depression, anxiety, life transitions, end of life issues, substance use and medication management. I see both individuals and couples. There are many research studies showing the use of hypnotherapy and mindfulness in easing the symptoms of stress and anxiety and I incorporate both into my practice. www.rickhanson.net. A wonderful resource to increase your knowledge and insights on how to use mindfulness to reduce stress.
