"Have you been feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with where you are in your life, your relationships, or your goals? You’ve been under a lot of pressure and now you’re feeling so burnt out, low, anxious, and tired. Maybe you’re feeling lost, confused, and your inner critic is on overdrive. You find it hard to communicate what you really want with your partner and other important people in your life. You’ve lived your whole life pleasing others and you realize that it’s time to take care of you. "

"I believe our destiny is not created by our history. Far too often we let the script of our past taint the next chapter of our life. Are the chains of grief, trauma, addiction, abuse, betrayal, sadness, fear, anger or self-hatred holding you back? I am curious…… What sparkling moments in your life have you forgotten about? What would life look like if you broke free and left all of the labels behind - even just for a moment? Is there a possibility you could awaken from a nightmare and begin to dream differently? What if the rebirth of creativity was possible? What if hope was renewed and slowly a new story began to form? "

"If you feel like a burden, can't share things with the people in your life, or you usually keep to yourself, my practice can support you. Going to therapy and talking about yourself can be really hard, it can stress me out too. I make the first session as easy going as possible."

"For 20+ years, whether in the capacity of a HS teacher, a university professor, and later as a clinician, I have shared with many students, patients, and colleagues how: "Whatever therapeutic modality we may use, what people really do care for is Kindness.” In this culture of confusion, fear, worry, anxiety, and distrust, many of us long for the comforting and safe presence of Kindness…and Acceptance. So, while journeying together, it is my goal to bring your awareness to the internal and genuine goodness that is within, and for you to begin to see the vivid colors of Life, from the very first session of your therapeutic adventure…"

"More often than not, we can find ourselves cruising on autopilot amidst our busy schedules and various responsibilities. There does not seem to be enough time to take a pause and allow ourselves to “just be.” We may suddenly find ourselves feeling disconnected from others and feeling like we are not living our lives as fully as we would like to. I believe that we strive for a deeper connection to others, our surroundings, and most importantly to ourselves, which is why I believe that therapy can be used as a vessel to explore unfulfilled needs and discover our authentic selves. "

"I hold an assumption that the contexts of people's lives are integral in understanding both the problems that they are up against, as well as the knowledge they have in spite of those challenges. I think about people as more than the obstacles that constrain their lives. Rather than focusing on getting to the bottom or the root of an issue, I am interested in asking questions that can help you think differently about it. I believe people carry with them talents and skills that live just alongside their problems, and make up unique resiliencies that have gone unnoticed and unaccounted for. The therapeutic relationship can be a "

"You see your child or teen struggling and it leaves you feeling frustrated and lost. Every time you think things are getting better, something shifts and you wonder if you are making the right decisions or doing the right things to support your child.
