I believe we have everything we need to heal inside each one of us. I believe we all have the inherent strength and ability to thrive and will do so if given the right venue and treatment. The times when stress and traumas overwhelm us, we can forget our strengths, skills, and insight. We all deserve to have support to cultivate a safe and trusting space to reconnect with that innate inner wisdom. I seek to support individuals who have become overwhelmed in life and want to learn how to get unstuck, heal past pain, and embody their purpose to live an authentic, thriving life.

Being a human is hard, and being alone in our suffering is unbearable. Living begins with connection. And that's where our work begins, too. If you choose to work with me, we'll use that connection to explore what's under the surface - to identify the unconscious drivers of your actions, some of which may be getting in the way of what you really want out of this one sweet life. Maybe your relationships don't work out the way you want, or maybe you're struggling to find your place in a career, or in community. Maybe you and your partner(s) aren't connecting the way you used to.

I believe an excellent therapist meets every client where they’re at. Navigating this world with presence and grace is more accessible and meaningful with someone to help process your experiences. We all need someone to talk to sometimes, and I strive to create an integrated and unique safe space for each client to unfold their narratives, fears, hopes and discover their untapped resources. Many people grapple with traumatic stress. It can interfere with our lives, relationships, and overall well-being. Ignoring or suppressing it may be tempting but will only make it worse.

Are you ready for change? Feeling anxious, depressed, perhaps in physical pain as well and experiencing symptoms you haven't felt before and don't know why? I work with individuals who have reached a point where they realize they need to do something different, because what they used to do is no longer working. You know you don't feel good, but you don't know what to do next to feel better. Perhaps you have felt increased anxiety, are questioning your long term relationship, are overwhelmed with taking care of kids and/or parents, and feel physically exhausted. Maybe you want to change long term behavior patterns.

Psychotherapy is much more than the removal of symptoms. I help individuals embrace their lives! I work with adults whose lives have been impacted by trauma. I also specialize in working with "seniors" experiencing the changes and challenges that often occur in later life. Finally, with four and a half decades in the mental health field, along with years of advanced education, I have gained an understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals who experience issues relating to gender and substance abuse.

From a basis of person-centered therapy and integrating tools from CBT, interpersonal, and attachment theories, I tailor my approach to meet the needs of each client.
Throughout life’s journey experiencing struggles, sickness, and loss, we sometimes find ourselves in need of the kind of unbiased support and unconditional positive regard that a counselor can provide. We benefit from the sacred space that’s held just for us during therapy, and the healing that occurs in the relationship between ourselves and the counselor, and of course in the healthier relationship we develop with ourselves and others. When we experience the darkness of depression, overwhelming anxiety, trauma, loss, crisis of identity or faith, or even indecision, our personal guidance systems can become temporarily blocked.

Congratulations on starting your healing process! It can be a bit frightening to seek therapy. You may be wondering, Will I like this person? Will they like me? Will they judge me? Do they know what they are doing? And, What if they just don't get me? All of that is very understandable and normal! I believe that the value of therapy is in connecting with another person who listens, is non-judgmental, compassionate, and knowledgeable. In the process of therapy we will talk about your thoughts, feelings, experiences, fears, values, and dreams of what you want to improve and achieve.
