I believe engaging in therapy is a courageous step towards the healing process. It is often difficult and uncomfortable sharing your deepest vulnerabilities with a stranger. I aim to create a safe, brave space where you feel valued, heard, and seen in ways that truly recognizes and honors those tender, and complex parts of you. I welcome a collaborative process and exchange where each person feels empowered to direct our time and process together. I embrace the therapeutic process in an exploratory creative way using trauma informed tools, parts work, somatic and spiritually sensitive practices.

My goal as your future counselor would be to help you achieve what matters most to you in life. The way I see it is that our emotions can feel so utterly controlling at times and pull us in all sorts of directions. When this happens, we can be convinced that we are not capable of succeeding. I want to foster a space and introduce tools that could help you drop the ropes that we feel are tied to us and live our valued life.

Therapy is about progress, not perfection. You are the expert on what works for you, even if it doesn’t seem clear right now. Together we can figure out where support could be helpful. It takes practice to learn to be vulnerable and to find the words to describe our inner lives. All emotions have meaning, and together we can figure out what they’re trying to tell you.

When someone finds out I'm a psychotherapist, this question often comes next: "How can you listen to problems all day?" My response? "Oh no, that's not my job; I watch people become their best selves!" With 35 years of experience, fostering a client's voice and co-creating a road map are key to reaching goals. As a young adult client, my talk therapy allowed me to tell my story of deep hurts, wins and losses, hopes, and big dreams-ultimately learning who I am, uniquely, in this world. It was the transformational power and deep respect of the therapy process that drew me to become a clinician.
