I believe that people seek counseling for a variety of reasons and when people are suffering from mental and or emotional pain, it can interfere with a persons overall wellbeing. Many times when a person is feeling and experiencing pain, this can make a person feel disconnected from others. I believe that when a person reaches out for help and support, this is the first step in the healing process. Through establishing and building a therapeutic relationship, based on congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathetic understanding, I can help facilitate a place to foster healing, personal growth, change, and self discovery.

**NOT accepting new patients**. My approach is based on building strong relationships because trust and compassion is essential for change. While emotional pain is universal, every person is unique. I listen with empathy and provide honest feedback to help people grow and heal. I have experience with diverse populations in addressing struggles with trauma histories, mood disorders, boundaries, identity, and relationships. We will address how to get through the worst parts of the day right away, but we also discover what is keeping us stuck in not so helpful patterns. I believe this approach gives more relief in the long term.

Life can often feel very overwhelming and confusing. You might feel stuck in anxiety, depression, or unwanted behavior. Perhaps your most important relationships are a source of pain and disappointment in your life instead of providing comfort, peace, and enjoyment. Or maybe you feel lonely and struggle to like yourself if your being honest. No one is immune from experiencing hardships, but we often struggle to respond to these difficulties in a healthy way. Our solutions and knee jerk reactions often cause more problems and heartache than they solve: whether that's sex addiction, losing your temper, or disengaging and avoiding.

In my 34 years of clinical experience, I have learned that people are far more capable of change than they realize. They change when they can make sense of both their thoughts and their feelings. Many people have been taught to use their head, but not their heart to understand themselves. They often do not understand the powerful impact of human emotion on the mind and body. My experience shows me that in order to truly grow and heal, people need to understand themselves differently to change. They also need to be respected for the knowledge that they already have.

As a psychodynamic therapist my approach to therapy looks at how trauma, past relationships, core beliefs, and attachments have shaped a client's present behaviors and thought processes. The goal in my therapy is to discover what we need to heal in order to grow and prosper- and then how to begin the work. If you feel like you don't know where to begin and as if you're "stuck" in the same patterns and self-defeating behaviors, you're not alone. If you're ready to take the next step in your healing, I'd love to help guide you. I specialize in marriage & relationship issues, intimacy, personality disorders, and trauma/mood disorders.

Anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem are issues that can be overwhelming. I help clients to identify the factors that contribute to these issues, and then assist in formulating a plan to reduce the symptoms and resolve the problems. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment to address these concerns. Additionally, I am experienced in working with individuals and couples struggling with relationships and/or parenting. Parenting can be wonderful, but also extremely challenging. Relationships can falter. These situations can bring up unexpected thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to share with friends and family.
