It is my belief that psychotherapy has the best chance to be effective when the client and therapist have a strong therapeutic alliance. That is, they have a good working relationship and are working toward exactly the same goals using methods or approaches best suited for the client. I strive to achieve this by providing a warm and safe climate, listening closely to the needs of my clients, and discussing our options and strategies.

"How can therapy help me? What can you tell me that I don’t already know?”- these are ideas that are fairly common for many people considering therapy. After all, society tells us that “emotions are yucky” and can be difficult to face- so what can therapy do for you that will actually benefit you? I believe that therapy is not about the therapist “telling you” about yourself, but is instead to explore what is holding you back from reaching your full potential.

Most people seek therapy when they have tried repeatedly and unsuccessfully to change something in their lives that is painful, unwanted, or no longer working. This inability to change our lives often leaves us anxious, ashamed, struggling within our relationships, and frustrated at how stuck we feel. We may experience great emotional distress because we mistakenly believe there are no other options available to us and fear life will always be this way. Psychotherapy aims at creating lasting change by slowing things down so that you may explore your personal values and desires and work toward greater self-awareness.

Perhaps you've been comparing yourself to others and frustrated with your own trajectory. Maybe you want to be hopeful but often wonder if the problem is you. Maybe you identify as LGBTQ+ and are looking for an unapologetically affirming environment. You may even have a strained or difficult relationship with religion that is affecting your adult life. Making the decision to pursue therapy can feel overwhelming initially. Exploring challenges in life can be scary. All of your feelings are valid and you deserve an environment to explore and consider the areas that life doesn’t always grant us time to navigate.

You want to feel like you have it all together but struggle with feeling confident. You're someone who accomplishes what you set out to achieve but you find yourself feeling unfulfilled. You're faking it to make it, telling everyone you're fine to maintain the image of success.Now, you're ready to make a change. You're ready to figure out why no accomplishment fills the void inside you and why life feels empty even though it looks how its supposed to. Most of all, you're ready to stop settling for "fine" and start thriving.

I am a counselor who considers the development of a strong therapeutic relationship to be the centerpiece of my treatment. I provide both short-term and long-term counseling to a diverse group of clients.

Therapy is a relationship that works in part because of clearly defined roles and responsibilities held by each person. This frame helps to create the safety to take risks and the support, empower and create sustained change. I provide individual/partner/ marital/couples counseling.

Everyone deserves to become the person they want to be and experience life to its fullest. Amidst the chaos or trauma that life throws your way, reaching out for help can be difficult yet it shows courage and determination. You are not alone as everyone faces obstacles in life that can prove to be overpowering and frustrating. Many times these challenges arise due to unmet needs and unfinished business. I work with young children and adolescents using my expertise from a 15+yrs career in education. In addition, I work with adults, couples and families that struggle with a variety of trials and trauma.

I offer an empathic and nurturing approach to treatment in which my patients can feel understood and unconditionally accepted. I seek to provide a warm and collaborative environment where we can explore together the circumstances, thoughts and feelings that are creating difficulty in your life.

I aim to help them access and learn to rely on their own inner wisdom and courage, and to foster their development of self-compassion and healthy coping skills.

Life often presents challenges that obscure the path toward being the best version of ourselves. Our work together can bring light to this darkness by exploring and meeting challenges one by one in a nonjudgmental space.
