My goal in working with you is to hear your story, patiently help you make sense of your confusion and pain, help you create unique coping skills, and build a preferred life worth living. Years ago I worked with cancer patients and their families at a Bone Marrow Transplant Unit in South Carolina. Their situations were varied and complex, their physical and emotional pain was deep. As they talked about their pain, hopelessness, worthlessness, loss, anxiety, and uncertainty, together we made sense of their confusion. Likewise, as we work together, I will help you and your challenges in the same caring and skillful way.

Throughout my career I have enjoyed working as a psychologist delivering counseling, consultation and assessment services. I consider it a privilege to be invited into an individual's world at a time of need and work hard to build a trusting alliance with each person. I listen to my clients and engage them around the unique stories they share so we can set goals and a treatment plan that is personally tailored to each individual and/or couple. My approach is based on years of experience and a solid theoretical foundation. It is a relational one such that I use our therapeutic connection to facilitate change.

Therapy is a process that promotes exploration and self-discovery. We all live with internal challenges that may have been caused by external stressors. Sometimes in life we need to really set aside time to slow down, take a look at ourselves and attempt to answer the question “Who are you?” Many of us define our lives by our occupation yet the answer to this question goes much deeper. Who we are as individuals can dictate how we deal with stress, how we make decisions and even how we take care of ourselves.

Together, we will work to identify your inner strengths and resources and engage in dialogue toward ongoing self-discovery and growth. I utilize approaches to support clients striving toward positive change. I focus on creating a trusting client-therapist relationship. I provide a safe and supportive environment to help facilitate self-discovery and lasting change. I use a warm, empathic and collaborative approach to guide our work and support goals. We can walk through challenge and fear together to help you create a fulfilling life.
