I strive to compassionately partner with clients to uncover their true self by identifying the patterns and obstacles that often create internal stress and interpersonal conflict? If you have had questions in life that continue to follow you, anxiety that overwhelms you, or you would like to find another way to approach life challenges, therapy can be a pathway through these struggles. I welcome all those who are interested in change with respect and empathy, providing a safe confidential environment that is individualized to your treatment needs.

Is your marriage or partnership showing signs of stress? Not sure if blending families is a good idea? Over 60% of blended families in the U.S. do not succeed and this impacts children's mental health. I help couples in conflict or who have grown apart create a more loving home using evidence-based methods, including the Gottman Method, Terry Real's Relational Life and Bader-Pearson Couples Therapy. I utilize compassion- and mindfulness-based methods to improve your parenting AND your partnership at the same time, while addressing the underlying causes of conflicts. I work primarily with adults.

I can attest,having worked with many clients over the years, I have witnessed time and time again the true value that a psychotherapeutic relationship can provide. Through hard work, growing authenticity, and commitment, a therapeutic relationship brings forth genuine opportunities for new & useful insight, new eye opening perspectives, the application of new and working coping skills, a freedom from debilitating challenges like anxiety, panic, depression, a renewed & focused life plan, significant transformational changes, and more. Therapy can have a significant impact, once you make the powerful decision to seek treatment, and develop new belief that life can be different.

I understand the importance of building a trusting relationship with my clients. My approach is genuine and nonjudgmental. Psychotherapy is a process, a journey as we work together to explore your thoughts and feelings, and to gain new insights towards a better understanding of yourself and your relationships with others.

Thank you for visiting my practice. Many people seek psychotherapy for relief of emotional difficulties related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, as well as relationship and work difficulties. When practical solutions to psychological setbacks do not lead to emotional relief, there may be deeper issues to uncover to achieve better insight and self-understanding to better cope with life’s challenges. In my approach, I focus on facilitating a safe, honest, empathic environment for clients to understand themselves and their challenges in the service of creating enhanced personal growth and emotional relief.
