Psychotherapy is something that can help you understand yourself better, and how you function in the world. It can help you understand patterns in your life that may be troubling for you and help to create positive change. I work with people to help them understand their belief systems, the meanings they make of experiences, as well as understanding messages they received from their families. People need a safe place to open up and explore these issues with confidentiality, which is something I provide for my clients.

In my work with individuals, couples and families I always keep in mind the goal of helping the client(s) live a life that truly expresses their highest, best selves. I appreciate the capacity in each to person to live a vital self-led life. This is done by integrating emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. Healing the wounds that prevent us from living fully allows for the emergence of our authentic selves.

Each client has unique strengths, values. I use these attributes to help the client build the life they seek. Maybe you don't believe you have strengths, but reading this site, or making an appointment takes courage, and courage is an excellent strength to have! Clients are offered empathy, compassion, directness and above all confidentiality in all things. Learning about the past is important, but it is as important to consider the here and now, where you are in the present. I always ask, "what do you want?" and "where do you want to be?" I challenge my clients to care and nurture their best selves, strengthen positives, resolve the negative. Try something different, call me today.

Traditional psychotherapy focuses on what is wrong with the person, and removing the disorder. However, our work together will take you further.

In addition to successfully navigating the negatives of life, we're capable of experiencing positive emotions and truly thriving in our communities. Our work together will take you there. What will your life look like once you've moved past the depression and anxiety and were flourishing?
