My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for children and adults, in order for them to process individual difficulties, devise a plan of action, and facilitate emotional health and well-being. My client base includes those experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, sexual and physical abuse, parenting difficulties, relationship issues, and family discord. I view myself as a coach to help identify strengths, determine what might be hindering progress, and pave the way for moving forward.

Each person is on a unique life journey. We look forward to learning where you are on your journey and how we can help you create the life you desire. It is not about dwelling on the past but about using life lessons to move forward in a positive way. Even our most difficult life experiences bring us wisdom, character and integrity.

I have worked more than 30 years with people struggling with some type of mental health symptoms and/or substance related disorders. My own therapy experiences have led me to know there are no limits to the hope available to us all; to overcome adversity, to build resiliency, and to move towards health. I believe that we all long for health and connection. I've experienced and witnessed the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity, to expand self-awareness and self acceptance, and to initiate and achieve astounding and lasting change in their lives.

If you could wake up tomorrow morning to a life that is exactly how you've always dreamt and visualized, what would that day look like? What is important to you - what are your most cherished values? Upon what do your curiosities hinge and linger? What awakens your inner child? Lends meaning to your being? My desire is to embark on the creative process of therapy with you, and serve as a guide as you explore the roads less traveled toward your most authentic patterns of being. We can take steps on this path via authentic 'I-Thou' encountering within a therapeutic relationship and a clean, well-lighted space.

The focus of my work as a clinical psychologist for over 27 yrs has been to actively engage with my clients to help them develop a feeling of personal competency and positive self-worth, and an ability to deeply understand where they have been, where they are now, and where they want to go. I strive to provide a safe and nurturing relationship so each person can explore and expand their own creativity in resolving emotional conflicts and difficulties, understanding problems in couple, family, friendship and workplace relationships, making important life decisions and coping with issues of aging.

Our lives have become increasingly difficult and complicated. We often make a bad situation worse through ineffective behavior or self-criticism. Are you overly harsh on yourself? Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, you are always falling short? Is your relationship suffering because of poor communication and lack of connection? As a therapist, I work to help others reduce their suffering through mindful self-compassion. Together, we can help you meet your goals while learning how to be kinder to yourself and others.

It takes courage to seek out a therapist, so I use a holistic and personal approach in my sessions that helps create a safe, healthy environment for you to express yourself. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental and private space for clients to explore and gain insight into the issues affecting their life, ideally creating peace and self-acceptance. My counseling is designed to help you cope and function better in your everyday life, relationships, academics, career and family life.
