Do you want to live more joyfully and to have better relationships? Are you living with depression, anxiety or unhealthy habits that interfere with your motivation and ability to act decisively, respond creatively, and connect more authentically with others? If so, you are experiencing one of the great personal challenges of our time and you are not alone. Changes in our work, health, and relationships often force us to examine and confront aspects of ourselves that no longer serve us in order to grow and move forward with our lives. This can be challenging work and it is often helpful to have an ally.

Marriages and families are the heartbeat of our communities. When we struggle in relationships to hear one another and be heard, to feel validated we can fail to see the value one another holds. However, when we learn how to listen to understand, learn to see the value of a different perspective, and worth of the person we are doing life with, then we can learn to love that person for who God created them to be.

As a therapist, my goal is to help my clients work through the difficulties of life and create meaningful change in their lives. I love working with young people experiencing various things, such as traumatic experiences, PTSD, grief, depression, anxiety and delinquent behavior. I recognize that not all people express themselves best with words, and strive to find the right methods for each client. I will often incorporate mindfulness techniques, breath work, and body work to assist my clients in building a mind-body connection.

Through therapy with me, you can expect a transformative and agenda-free space in which to explore, discover, grow and empower yourself. My approach to therapy is broad and inclusive. I have specific training in relationship counseling, depth (Jungian) psychology, and trauma healing. I often work with dreams as well as draw from somatic and cognitive behavioral techniques. However, far more important than any particular modality or technique is what arises in the present moment interaction between you and me.

Challenges are a part of life and when we are faced with a difficulty, we are presented with an opportunity for growth. This can be difficult to see when you are in the midst of the challenging situation, especially if you are feeling alone. Reaching out for help is not always easy and takes courage. You may be wanting to develop greater self-awareness and insight, are in need of relief from symptoms of depression or anxiety or wanting caring and unbiased support through a significant moment in life. I believe that each person is unique and I will start with where you are and we’ll work together from there to reach your goals.

We often have a sense that in some ways, somehow we have been holding back. The barriers hidden behind cost us in our capacity for intimacy, spontaneity, and precious space for the heart's need to express and to be seen. They are usually constructed for very good reasons; to avoid painful experiences and vulnerability. But more often than not, carry on decades beyond when the threatening events have past. Defenses, beliefs, and the wounds that shut us down developed around people. The healing can happen when we feel safety again. Not surprisingly, this needs to happen with people too.

Coming to therapy is an act of self-love. Being curious about what makes us feel and act the way we do is the most rewarding endeavor, bringing authenticity, creativity, and choice into our lives. Our self-concept and beliefs about the world were formed in infancy and learned in our primary relationships. Unconsciously, these early experiences guide many of our actions in the present time. I am passionate about exploring with you old patterns that do not serve you anymore. I support you in cultivating conscious life-affirming choices and self-caring responses to the inevitable challenging and painful events of life.
