“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.” I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”

I will be your partner on your journey towards recovery and will provide a safe, warm and nurturing environment where you can express yourself, get support and learn new skills. I use a strength-based approach and will help you develop the tools you need in order to live a more fulfilling life. My goal is to ensure that you find relief from the immediate distress you may be experiencing, while also helping you build and strengthen coping skills that will improve your ability to manage life stressors long after therapy has ended.
As a part of our journey together, I will draw your attention to aspects of your thoughts, feelings, and behavior that are essential to making the change you seek. I use a variety of techniques in therapy, trying to find what will work best for you. These techniques are likely to include dialogue, interpretation, cognitive reframing, awareness exercises, self-monitoring experiments, visualization, journaling and selected readings. Although I cannot guarantee substantial benefits from therapy, I am extremely optimistic about our therapeutic experience and our progress. My hope is that you leave therapy with a better understanding of yourself and overall improved quality of life.
I have 20+ years of clinical experience with a wide variety of issues/concerns. I offer Saturday and telehealth appointments to help ensure that a busy work week won’t interfere with your ability to participate in the services you are searching for. Feel free to contact me via phone or email and we can discuss how I might be able to help.
