I assist children and families as they work through challenges and move toward rebuilding their self-confidence and creates a more positive outlook in life.

Whether your challenge is depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationships, addictions or career challenges, all you need to get started is the desire to change.

Are you finding yourself caught in self defeating patterns? Are you anxious or depressed and don't know why? Maybe you are hard on yourself in ways you aren't to others. Or, do you find yourself overly critical of others? Do you wish you were happier, more at peace? We all try and want to live at our best, but many of us find ourselves pulled back into old patterns before we recognize our actions. We cope in many different ways or develop symptoms that are often self destructive. Why do we do this?

Hello! Let me congratulate you on taking the first step towards your-self discovery and personal healing. I understand how challenging it is to find a therapist who will honor, respect, and value the often private and personal information you share in session. I believe in providing clients space to feel safe enough to unpack suppressed emotions and thoughts while gently offering insights to how their patterns might be counterintuitive to the goals they want. The fundamentals of my practice include being genuine, compassionate, empowerment of others, unbiased, no judgments, and being scientifically sound.

We all have strategies for dealing with challenges day-to-day. But over time, many strategies can fall short or even backfire. We may find ourselves withdrawing and avoiding certain aspects of our lives, or overextending and pushing ourselves to the point of exhaustion.

One of my goals as a therapist is to help you identify changes you can make, both big and small, and tap into your motivation to follow-through on those changes.

You're a woman who wants to understand herself better: how you're showing up in relationships, who "you" are outside of your responsibilities, and what gets in the way of feeling more connected within yourself and with others. Maybe you’ve experienced a significant transition in life, or maybe negative self-talk or relationship struggles are wearing you down. You know life doesn’t have to feel like this, but there is so much on your shoulders these days—it hasn't felt possible to find the time, space, and skills you need to create change. But now you’re ready to move beyond what's holding you back.

My perspective embraces self-awareness as one of the main instruments in helping free up trauma. Fuller awareness removes the fear of the unknown, gives us distance from distress and the ability to disconnect from automatic behaviors that perpetuate negative reactions and feelings. In the words of international trauma experts “its teaching our clients how to focus on new stimuli they normally might not have noticed...” with “conscious inhibition of old responses”(Jana Fisher and Pat Ogden, March 2011). The intricacies of our humanness prevents freedom from all depression, anxiety, neurosis and traumatic bodily sensations. Yet.....

We can all use an un-biased, confidential person to talk with. Throughout life, everyone experiences periods of stress, grief & sadness, go through breakups, endure family & parental stress, or struggle with pressures at work. Sometimes we may need extra support navigating through, and adjusting to life changes. In therapy, we will work as a team to facilitate your treatment goals with a solution focused approach. We will nurture your emotional & social well-being, increasing personal growth and self-acceptance, while gaining a stronger sense of personal self-worth, life satisfaction, and increasing the ability in maintaining healthy relationships.
