I view psychotherapy as a framework for clarifying and working through problems that cause people to feel stuck, helpless or insecure about their lives. Ultimately, I consider the goal of psychotherapy as empowering others to reach aspired levels of purpose, productivity and fulfillment. I work to help others gain a fuller understanding of themselves and the reasons behind recurring habits, upsetting moods and anxieties, relational conflicts and obstacles that seem unsolvable. My clients explore alternative perspectives to their problems, make more informed choices around them, and gain a greater sense of control over their surroundings and the stressors they encounter.

Finding a therapist who is personable, down-to-earth, and experienced and skilled in proven therapies can be a challenge. My belief, supported by research, is that the most effective therapy is borne out of a strong, trusting relationship. Despite therapy raising difficult emotions, my clients have commented on their enjoyment of our work together. They express gratitude for my caring and easy going nature, and express confidence in my ability to help them achieve greater satisfaction in their lives. My clients continually recommended me to colleagues and friends because of these characteristics.

In my experience, most people reach out for help when they realize that the coping skills and strategies they are utilizing are not working for them, or they may be overwhelmed by a particular event, such as the loss of a loved one. I have a warm and nurturing style, believing that often only when we feel supported by another are we best able to realize our potential. Many of my clients are suffering from depression, relationship issues, stress, anxiety, trauma, and grief.

Many of my clients have childhood histories of psychological abuse and toxic narcissism. Often these are childhoods that look great on the surface, but underneath, are filled with unspoken pain and cumulative neglect. In recent years I have developed new perspectives on treating these issues. Please see my website for a look at my current writings. I also work with dreams as a way of understanding and working through past dysfunctional patterns.

Relationships can bring us the greatest joys in life- but sometimes they cause us the deepest pain. You may feel "I'm not enough" which leads you to giving-up, giving-in, or giving too much of yourself.

You may find yourself stuck in a spiral of thoughts and emotions. We'll get to the root causes so you can show up with your best parts. If you experience relational, career, or internal dissatisfaction, long for something more and a way out, I can help.
