""Life can be difficult. Are you or a member of your family feeling alone, unsure, overwhelmed, angry or discouraged? I have been helping people navigate their lives for 25 years. Therapy is a great way to take "time out"; to take care of you. In an atmosphere of trust and confidence, come to know yourself from new vantage point. Build on your strengths and resources and discover new ones. See challenges, painful loss and times of darkness as part being human, the end of which may lead to growth, wisdom, inner strength and compassion."

"WELCOME TO LIVING A LIFE OF BALANCE All of us face struggles in our lives. We experience problems and difficulties sometimes on a daily basis and other times only occasionally. When we feel stuck we have a tendency to repeat negative or self-defeating patterns/behaviors. This repetition often causes us to become very critical of ourselves. Our work together is designed to help you to understand the why and how so that you can make the changes you want in your life. Change is never easy. It takes time and patience and a commitment to want more and to be better for yourself."

"I have been doing therapy with individuals, couples and families for over 20 years. My treatment approach is client centered and based on the belief that we all need others to walk with us on our journey through life. Especially prominent in my toolkit for working with clients are the creative modalities: Music, Art, Poetry, Dance, Singing and Play Therapy. Also informing my work are Jungian concepts and Transpersonal Psychology. I have also been trained in a variety of Mindfulness practices to achieve positive results with Stress Management, Anxiety, Phobias, Pain Management, Improving Performance, Weight Loss and Smoking Cessation."

"My passion is helping people find their strength to cope with life challenges.I partner with my clients to help them discover and embrace their personal power. I feel my life work is to help people gain strength to move beyond the struggles of life and realize their full potential."

"My emphasis is on creating a safe, comfortable connection so clients feel supported & accepted. Using a trauma focused lens approach to individual, couples and family therapy, I address their concerns, physical, mental & emotional symptoms and identify goals most important to clients. I assist clients to uncover thinking patterns/habits that keep them stuck, develop new insights and awareness to improve their self confidence and relationships with others"

""The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes"..... Do you ever feel like you are stuck in a cage without a key? Are you caught in an unexpected or difficult situation which seems increasingly demanding? Maybe you find yourself caught up in thoughts, memories or behaviors which leave you feeling diminished or scared, and leave others feeling worried about you. Via psychotherapy, we can turn these experiences around by effecting changes in the way you experience yourself and your world."
