My practice is dedicated to helping individuals effectively navigate life challenges. My approach is non-judgmental and supportive. I strongly believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship. Because of the vulnerability involved in exploring your feelings, it is imperative that you feel safe and trusting of me. Together, we will process your feelings. This often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and better coping skills. My focus is to collaborate with you on creating your personal goals and to offer you a comfortable environment to work through issues that are causing you unhappiness.

I provide services to individuals in a supportive environment where we can navigate through the difficult transitions that life presents. I truly believe in the healing power of therapy and have seen firsthand the positive impact therapy can have in a person's life. I am honored to take on life's challenges with you by providing support, guidance, and comfort.

We often feel lost, stuck, and helpless when we struggle to find solutions to our everyday problems. At this point, our problems can become obstacles blocking us from living the best days of our lives. However, psychotherapy can help us overcome these obstacles by teaching us how to cope better with our emotions and thoughts, gain insight into our problems, make impactful changes, communicate effectively, find solutions, and stop engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors.

I believe one of the most valuable experiences someone can have in their life is to be truly heard. You may find me well-suited to helping you as I'm calm, empathic and nonjudgmental -- people have told me. I treat clients who struggle with anxiety, depression and relationship problems among other difficulties. In the past few years, my skills and knowledge have been deepened in particular by discovering that our connection to others is a survival need--and a key source of difficulties. Connection is an essential source of healing and growth.

For over 20 years, I have been privileged to participate in the personal growth of my clients by providing support and practical solutions to help address current challenges and longer standing problems. I am continually inspired by how we cope with, endure, and find creative ways to deal with adversity, difficult pasts, and current challenges. My style is active, problem focussed and collaborative. I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to meet your specific needs. Drawing from a variety of approaches, including cognitive behavioral and psycho-dynamic therapy, we will develop and work toward life goals in a safe, supportive manner.

I provide services to individuals, adults and adolescents, in a supportive environment where we can navigate together the sometimes difficult transitions and challenges of life. I believe that therapy can make a positive and profound impact on a person's life and look forward to working with you.

There may be times in your life when something happens and you feel overwhelmed. It may be a series of small things or it could be something bigger. Perhaps you are just at the point when you are ready to let go of something from your past that triggers you or holds you back. It could be that you are very focused on success and need some extra support. It could be that your child or loved one needs support. Wherever you are in life's journey, I will meet you there and provide support.

I have been providing individual, couples, and family therapy for over 35 years. Areas of specialty in my clinical practice include couple/family relational issues, anxiety, depression, stress and health, life transitions, and work systems issues. Anxiety may interfere with a person's ability to think clearly at times of stress or crisis and may impede their finding a course of action. Through the initial assessment phase and as therapy progresses, the ability to think more calmly and objectively about a problem can return. A person may then more effectively address the inevitable challenges in relationships and in life.
