My view on therapy is very simple, though not always easy: 'through relationships, we heal’. Many of the barriers that inhibit healthy relationships include negative self-talk, fear of judgement, and our need to maintain a sense of control, especially when we are deeply hurt or wounded. Trauma does not discriminate and it does not wait for an opportune time to present, but we can make sense of it and heal old wounds that hold us back from really connecting with those we love.

My clients gain long lasting benefits from solution focus, DBT, and actualization principles, purposed to renew perspective, manage, behavior, and heighten cognition. We have 2,000 thoughts per day, and each one is capable of changing our circumstances for the better. Why wait? Individuals "want to feel better now, not some time in the distant future." Tap into your natural resources for dynamic change. Use this opportunity to forge a new path, establish a new partnership, and change the environment to meet your needs.

Life can definitely go sideways; I’m here to help you right what’s gone wrong. I’m probably not your typical therapist. I’m a lawyer, a mother and a mid-life divorce survivor. I’m transparent and a little unorthodox at times. You will never wonder if you are sitting with a real person. We will laugh, we may cry, and I won't mind if you drop an f-bomb or two. I will never judge you or presume to know more about you than you know yourself. Your story matters; I want to know how you show up in your life and how your history and experience coalesced to bring you here. I will not waste your time chatting; we have work to do.
