Stress often highlights issues in our lives. It can also provide an opportunity to address these issues to improve our own functioning. The issues may be in our relationships or circumstances. I would love to partner with you in this journey of discovery and empowerment. My 25+ years of helping people like you makes me uniquely qualified to collaborate with you on this journey. I approach issues primarily from a CBT framework but also rely on an eclectic approach that matches the technique with your particular need. I work remotely to enable flexibility in scheduling. I also offer a Free 15 min consultation to ensure a good fit.

I provide a supportive and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe it is important to teach clients strategies to use throughout their life, so that when they leave therapy, clients feel more confident to cope with future difficulties in a positive way. Learning skills along with self exploration can lead to progress in a shorter amount of time. Clients of all ages can benefit from this approach.

I have worked for many years with individuals and families who have faced major challenges. Extra support during stressful times can have practical benefits, and can even create opportunities for growth. You will benefit from this investment for the rest of your life. The theme of my practice is Growth through Life Transitions.

Making the decision to call a therapist is scary for most of us. It is usually at a time when we feel vulnerable or things have reached a crisis point. I can help give you objective feedback so that you can understand and make sense of your thoughts and feelings. In therapy you will learn new coping skills that you can use, not just in this incident, but in future ones. You don't have to be alone as you try and figure things out. I believe I can help.

"Well, it's always something!" How often have we all heard and said this phrase. Yet it's true. Life is always presenting us with"somethings" - loss, problems, distress, despair - obstacles to our happiness and well-being, and to our relationships. It is a very wise decision to reach out for help. Yet I know it is also stressful to try to decide on a therapist. Let me share with you who I am and my approach as a therapist. I unfailingly believe it is possible for people to make positive changes in their lives and to heal past and present trauma and pain.

It is my belief that the most healing aspect of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. For it is only through this foundation that our deepest and most personal wounds can be healed. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families and teens and helping patients gain a greater understanding of themselves and the important people in their life. My goal is to empower patients to be vulnerable and honest with themselves and others and thereby make healthy life choices and impact change in their relationships.

DECIDING TO BEGIN PSYCHOTHERAPY IS A COURAGEOUS ACT. I enjoy working with clients who, via symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sexual-orientation or career issues, eating disorders, life transitions, or relationship issues are seeking a deeper understanding of their lives and which direction they wish to take. Often the symptom is the "call" from psyche, a portal into a deeper exploration into one's life which may yield increased self-awareness and introductions to formerly unknown aspects of one's own being. I feel privileged to be called upon to accompany individuals on this journey. At this time,
