My current work partner, Celeste, a Golden Retriever, has had a good deal of "on the job training" since puppyhood.
Why spend your energy trying to cope with what is, when you could use it to create what you really want? I love working with people who are motivated to make significant life change, even if they don't know where or how to begin! I focus on teaching clients to separate thoughts from feelings, tap into their inner core of intuitive awareness, and use their own inner guidance system -- to move toward their goals, and away from old patterns and obstacles to growth. Along the way, we bring in interesting discussions, good books, homework, mindfulness exercises, and of course, some humor!

They seek my help because of relationship distress or dissatisfaction, separation and divorce, affairs, family problems, depression, anxiety, difficulty with life transitions, problems related to addiction, trauma, post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, and parenting concerns.
Relationships...with others and ourselves... are at the core of human experience. I work to empower couples, individuals, and families to live lives of meaning, connection, love, and happiness. I have dedicated training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for relationship healing. Grounded in research and regarded as the most effective approach to couple therapy, EFT works to help partners rekindle feelings of love, connection, security, and happiness. The goal is reconnection. I also utilize Brainspotting, one of the new generation therapies, to promote a more rapid and deeper processing, integration and healing from a variety of psychological problems.

My specialty is helping individuals struggling with: depression, anxiety, grief & loss, trauma & abuse, low self-esteem, stress management, relationship difficulties, loneliness, experiences of oppression, discrimination or marginalization, and life transitions.
Seeking therapy is a courageous first step towards better understanding how past and current experiences impact individual wellbeing. I believe the most important part of treatment is establishing a trusting client-therapist relationship. I work to build a warm, open environment so you feel safe when sharing difficult thoughts and feelings. There are times in life when our usual coping strategies are not enough and feelings of helplessness and inadequacy can take over. Therapy can help to successfully navigate life's challenges and make positive changes that will contribute to improved feelings of competence in managing relationships, transitions, and other stressors more productively.

I would suggest (and research agrees) that the fit and relationship in therapy is more important than the specific "how".
Hi, if you're like many of my clients, you're hoping to find a therapist who has worked with your kind of worries before, will listen without passing judgement and can offer a safe place to process as well as get some concrete tools to help you feel better. My clients often describe struggling with communication or compromise in relationships, hurting from a big loss, frustration with their kid's problems, feeling anxious, or having a hard time at work. Most of my clients want a therapist who is warm, authentic, can explain the "why" behind their "what" and is willing to engage, not just observe.
