We are each born with the capacity to live a full, joyous and productive life. Through the natural events of our less than perfect world, this capacity is diminished. In some way we know that this is possible and at the same time realize that we are limited. The area of limitation may be in our relationship to ourselves - somehow being unable to experience compassion or appreciation for our own beings. These limitations create pain and unnecessary suffering. Just as we have the capacity for living full and productive lives, I believe that we all have the capacity for healing.

Making the decision to embark on a therapeutic journey takes courage & vulnerability. The power of having someone listen, support, & guide without judgment is a profound experience.The gift of psychotherapy is freedom through self examination & awareness.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients embrace their authentic selves, foster meaningful relationships, & improve their overall quality of life. Seeking therapy can be rewarding & life changing.
