You are NOT crazy and I help your brain and your body know that too. You don’t have the time, money, or energy to “test drive” therapists. Therapy is for you, the client, so I like to learn the preferences you want for how your sessions will go. This helps you feel at ease, heard, and understood from the start.

I have found that the deepest learning comes through suffering and the loss of hope. Most of us find it hard to be still, rest, look within, and ask for help to calm the storm that rages. My desire is to offer a "safe harbor" for people to heal as they take personal inventory, and feel the breeze of grace. Frederick Buechner put it this way: "Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell, your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace."

If you feel overwhelmed, are experiencing stress, sadness, loneliness, grief, anger, or are struggling in your relationships, there is hope!

The only constant in life is change and as long as you live this life, you can expect just that; continuous change. When unexpected change occurs, it can create a sense of instability, doubt, questioning, discomfort, and fear. Not knowing what to do with the uncertainty can take a toll on your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. If any of this resonates with you, then it may be time to invite an objective someone in to hear your experiences and join in the journey of reorganizing your self-discovery. This is what one can expect in a therapeutic relationship with me.

"A person is a person, no matter how small." ---Dr. Seuss Speaking your truth is difficult when your first language is play, or you find it difficult to share your thoughts because of abuse, grief or depression. Children struggle with a myriad of concerns in our technologically-driven age, whereby, their first impressions stem from influences seen on television, social media, and experiences from within their home or school environments.
