"Finding things in your life that are unmanageable? Do you struggle with just trying to get through day to day activities? Life can be very confusing, sometimes we feel empty, maybe even out of control? "

"Making the decision to seek counseling can be an anxious time, but I believe it can be the start to a positive, productive, and deeply satisfying experience. It can give you a chance to address concerns that may be affecting your work, relationships, spiritual beliefs, and your happiness or peace of mind. Therapy may be active and solution-focused, or quiet and reflective; it provides a chance to explore your understanding of yourself and others, and address specific struggles. I recognize that it takes incredible courage to start this process and I will help to make it as empowering as possible."

"Our relationships and connections to others are the foundation of our wellness as human beings. Therapy is the perfect platform to strengthen relationships to promote lasting positive changes, find clarity, repair, and recover. When we are feeling disconnected from important people in our lives it can seem our world is crumbling around us. At times we may feel disappointed, let down, we are not measuring up, or not feeling fully accepted or valued. Maybe you are experiencing sadness, anxiety, or anger. Maybe you are wanting to improve or strengthen your relationship and personal wellbeing. Therapy can help with these and more."

I case conceptualize from a psychodynamic perspective, which means that I believe early childhood history and caregiver relationships influence who we are as adults.

"It's my belief there is no right way to be or live. I work with clients on discovering their worthiness. I work best with clients interested in understanding why certain patterns have emerged in their lives. Sometimes our thoughts and feelings pile on top of each other. This makes it hard to hear the information that they convey. Together we can sift through these layers until you find an internal sense of peace."

"Therapy begins with listening to your experience and its many dimensions (physical, emotional, relational, mental and spiritual), which are interactive so that change in one dimension effects a degree of change in other dimensions. Our lives become difficult or troubled when we have no way to listen to what appears in some part of our lives....in relationships, in our emotions, in our body, mind or spirit. Who we are becomes obscured by self-devaluing processes and our potential for living is lost. Psychotherapy, in my view, helps you discover, value and realize your potential for being creative and alive."
