Work to identify strategies and techniques that can begin to offer some relief. We will also begin to alter problematic/less functional narratives that negatively impact your life. Self-compassion is a skill that I work on with almost every client.

It is my responsibility to pay attention to the big picture- noting common themes that come up. Often concerns that we have present differently across different domains (work, home, etc.) but the emotional underpinnings and impact can be similar.
The most common themes clients share with me are trauma, grief and loss, caregiver stress,couples /marriage concerns, premarital counseling, and transitions -divorce, leaving for college, retirement. I am honored to walk the road with you.

You will discover that I'm a good listener. In working with me, you will feel heard, supported, encouraged and sometimes gently prodded if necessary so you heal from trauma or grief, get ready for or repair your marriage or learn how to self care.
I don't believe in "mental illness": No one comes to therapy because has been too awesome. When we can identify the source of your pain and heal it, we can change your life. Everyone can get better. They just need to find the right therapist.

I have a down-to-earth style that is balanced by an ability to be direct when needed. Sometimes, people need more than reassurance and support in therapy. Sometimes they need someone to tell what they need to hear, even when it's tough.
I provide counseling to those who have been through trauma, crisis relational difficulties, or life changes of past, present, or future. My service are inclusive of all people regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion.
