I believe the transforming power of psychotherapy and coaching begins with a vital connection between you and me. Our conversations create a safe and nurturing space for you to grow in the confidence of your worth, your aspirations, and your life circumstances. From this awareness comes a deeper knowing of yourself and a more effective "hands on" capacity for dealing thoughtfully and constructively with the challenges of living. Together, we define your goals for therapy, and together we create the path to make these goals your reality. I invite you to join with me in this process.
I work with individuals, couples, and families of many cultural, ethnic, religious, gender and sexual orientations. Our discussions can focus on life concerns such as identity, addiction, trauma, war-related, domestic and street violence, depression and anxiety, chronic illness, death and dying, relationships, aging, body image and personal change.
Additionally, I'm a Certified First Responder Counselor. And, I'm an EMDR certified therapist. I'm also a Certified Group Psychotherapist. I work with individuals who are living the impact of work and life challenges, to actualize new directions.
