"Over the past 30 years as a family therapist, I've learned a lot about the process of change from every family, couple and individual with whom I've had the privilege to work. I believe that our interconnectedness, (with our friends, family, our workplaces, schools, and our community) has the power to transform us into our best selves or trap us in old scripts and routines. Learning to navigate these relationships while holding onto our truest selves gives life meaning and empowers us to be productive, successful and happy. My approach is collaborative, individualized and relational."

"We are often faced with experiences that bring about many emotions within us. The struggle occurs when our emotional pain becomes too great, and we need relief from it. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity for healing. Through the collaboration of the therapeutic relationship, you can explore your authentic self and speak your truth in a genuine and honest way. This can allow you to begin to connect with your resources to aid in overcoming the obstacles between you and your goals. Psychotherapy can also provide you the space to explore patterns within your relationships to enhance meaningful connections within your life."

"Congratulations! Today you have taken a first step toward creating more joy and fulfillment in your life. We believe every person has the power to create positive change. Whether you want to address a particular problem in your life, navigate a new transition, recover from a recent or past trauma, let go of a negative behavior pattern, or wish to resolve uncomfortable feelings or emotions, psychotherapy can help. Using an integrative approach, mixed with compassion, honesty, humor, and guidance, we can produce solutions to move life forward by instilling hope and promoting change. We provide a non-judgmental, caring environment."

"I've had the privilege of working in the mental health field for nearly 30 years. My years of working as a certified school psychologist has provided me with vast and varied experience working with children, adolescents, parents and couples struggling with life's challenges. I work collaboratively with families, schools, attorneys, physicians and many other agency professionals. I believe that a strong and genuine therapeutic connection is vital in therapy. My approach is non-judgmental, sensitive and safe, while direct and solution focused. I believe in helping people build on their strengths in order to increase their resilience in problem solving. ."

"We all feel stressed and overwhelmed at times and we all face challenges in our lives at one time or another. If you are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or other self-defeating patterns, I am here to help. I understand that one of the most important parts of therapy is building a safe, trusting relationship with a therapist and that a good relationship with a therapist can be a safe place to start making changes."

"How many times have you looked at this website? (Yea, me too. I wondered if this would be the best way to connect with clients). And now you are trying to find a good therapist–someone who will relate to you. Let me start off by stating how important I think mental health is to the well-being of an individual. I believe that it colors everything that one does. While life isn’t always perfect, one can look at life- process, develop options and just try it out. It really isn’t clear cut like that and processing takes time. Maybe that is why I am in this field–to help people to look at their lives and to make their lives better."

"I provide the unique experience of therapy services right in the comfort of your home. I support all individuals in all types of families and relationships. Change is difficult and the reasons for seeking therapy are varied but I am here to help you take the first steps towards the change you seek. If you are an individual, couple or family seeking therapy to bring about any type of change in your life and are ready to work towards that goal, I can provide the guidance and support to help you reach your goals."

"Often the hardest part of solving problems is finding the right person to help you. Since therapy can be an exciting, challenging, and at times a daunting process, it is important to know that you are working with a therapist who is experienced with the issues you are struggling with."

"I see therapy as providing an emotionally safe place for clients to reflect on whatever they are experiencing, to feel understood, and to receive help identifying ways to feel more settled internally and more able to manage life problems assertively. I have worked for over 30 years with clients from all kinds of circumstances and with a wide range of relationship and mental health difficulties. Whether they are seeking brief or long-term therapy, alone or with a partner or family members, I welcome clients of all ages."

"There are no ideal clients -- there are only ideal therapeutic relationships. Every client brings their issues into session. As a therapist my hope is that we are able to address these issues with mutual authenticity. This authenticity comes from our mutual interest in honesty, presenting our genuine selves, and our willingness to work together in finding solutions to issues that impede the client's ability to live a fulfilling life. Authenticity is not age specific -- a 4 year old can bring as much authenticity to a session as an 80 year old."

If you want to focus on healing without having to worry about a third party monitoring your personal struggles and demanding a diagnosis, I am happy to partner with you directly, creating terms that we negotiate together.
