** At this time, my practice is full and I am not accepting new clients. So sorry I could not be of service. 

Life's journey can get confusing and painful at times, particularly times of our greatest growth and change. Understanding the challenging times and seeing them as awakenings within ourselves to live a fuller, more joyful life creates our honorable journey.

My job is to increase your awareness..... to give you more choices....creating more power within you.

As a therapist for over 30 years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, adolescents and families. The universal desires seem to include: growth, healing, experiencing deeper connection and greater joy in life. Life is complex and messy, and we are all evolving.

Coming to therapy usually means something within you or your family is needing to grow, and we all need trail guides from time to time.  Someone that knows the paths and can walk with you and make sure you have the tools you need to get you to your destination safely.  

The main psychological approaches I use are Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Compassion- Focused, Cognitive- Behavioral and Narrative therapies.

My style is interactive and honoring of the relationship we create, and what you need. 

Therapy can be short term to fix a problem and gain some tools, or a longer process of self-discovery and deeper change.
