I am committed to providing a comfortable and non-judgmental space for you. Asking for help requires strength and courage, and seeking therapy can be a powerful step towards solving problems and healing emotional wounds. I believe the best therapy is individualized to the client and that all people are resilient with the internal strength necessary to grow and heal. I have several years of experience working with individuals and couples. I am comfortable working with both men and women and I enjoy working with diversity, whether it be in ethnicity and/or sexual orientation.

My strengths as a clinician are my compassion, warmth, and sensitivity, which I believe can enhance a client's capacity for growth and change. I combine insight/depth work with brief, solution-focused therapy. I honor a client's spiritual path and I am comfortable working with the 12-step model as well as the Harm Reduction model. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), an information processing therapy developed to resolve symptoms of disturbing or unresolved life experiences. Other tools I find helpful in facilitating change are mindfulness practices, homework, role-playing, drawing/writing, relaxation, modeling, and teaching.

I believe trials can bring transformation. I believe struggles and transitions can provide an opportunity to grow and change in life-giving ways. I believe it is never too late to live a meaningful life. I strive to be effective, present, and attuned with you through your process. Although therapy can be difficult, it can be exciting as clients discover new ways of living and being.

Sometimes it is difficult to seek therapy and share with someone you have just met. Please call me for a free phone consultation. I am happy to answer any questions, we can get a sense of each other, as well as discuss your situation and the possibilities of working together.
