My role as a therapist is to facilitate growth and change by assisting my clients in realizing and exploring the primary concerns in their lives. My job is to help them get "unstuck," so that they can choose other ways to live. I offer tools that can help them communicate better, establish necessary and healthy boundaries, manage anger and fear healthily, and eliminate self-destructive and self-harming behavior. Most importantly, I offer assistance in improving the self, which can enrich and increase the joy in my client's lives.

Have you ever felt helpless, lost, or confused as a parent? Felt overwhelmed by the daily decisions we face as parents compounded by the number of differing opinions on how to be a good parent? Alongside the intense love a parent feels for their child can also come worry, fear, and a deep desire to do everything that we can to nurture their development. Watching your child struggle at school, be rejected by friends, hurt themselves, or explode with anger can feel like an open wound that will not heal. A journey this important should not be undertaken alone.

Psychotherapy is an art and a science. The art is the use of oneself combining the intuitive sense; the naturalness in expressing comfort and caring; the ability to relate to all people; and the comfort in self-disclosure. The science is the skills and techniques we learn and the knowing what techniques will be helpful in moving clients beyond their walls towards a healthier life

It’s not easy to ask for help, so I thank you for taking the courageous first step of exploring therapists here on Psychology Today. I encourage you to look at my website for more information, but, in summary, my goal as a therapist is not to give you the answers - who am I to believe I have all the answers?! Instead, my goal is to help you discover the answers you have within. I'm also not one to skirt around the issues. With compassion and understanding, I aim to confront the issues head-on, working with you to face the difficulties that are so often, more easily, avoided.

Feeling stuck, angry, depressed, or confused? Are you fed up, with yourself, your partner, or family members? Are you struggling financially? Are looking for a different career or starting one? Are your struggling with school or college? Do you have feelings and thoughts that you do not understand, and don't feel comfortable talking to friends or family about them? These are common experiences for many people in our complicated society. Sometimes people "act out", fall into addictions, just shut down, or make bad decisions. They want change, but are not sure how. That's when counseling and analysis can really help.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and direct. I believe every person can create profound and lasting change in their lives with the right support. With twelve years of experience working with teens, families, and adults, I deeply respect how much courage it takes to slow down and get real with yourself so that you can show up for your life in the ways that you want.
