You have already accomplished the most difficult step - accepting and beginning your search for a therapeutic fit. My professional background, training, education and life experience provide me with a framework to assist clients to healthier and more productive functioning. I truly believe people can find within themselves, the resources to enrich their lives and I would be honored to assist you in that discovery. My work as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist gives me an insight in helping clients to realize their strengths that may have been hidden by the stress, negative thinking and unfortunate circumstances that may have surrounded their lives. We will look at you in the context of your history and where your life is currently. Regardless of what life has handed you, we can work together to make the present healthier and your future more fulfilling. In taking a holistic and collaborative approach to functioning, we can address the challenges in the dimensions of your health and work together towards wellness - where you can take pride and control of your decisions and circumstances. I lean towards a Solution-Focused approach as I found it becomes a common go-to in getting ahead or a hold of life's challenges. Solution focused looks toward improving your current situation by acknowledging what has worked so far and what hasn't! After all, YOU are the expert in your life, it just may not feel like that right now. My non- judgmental and kind hearted demeanor often sets the tone for a successful therapeutic relationship, even to those who are resistant to therapy or have never tried therapy before. Let's get started to a path of healthy thinking and functioning!

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals... compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared community."(Brene Brown) I truly believe that this philosophy represents my framework for conducting effective and rewarding therapy. Providing a supportive and safe space for the process of healing to occur is of the utmost importance to me as a psychotherapist. My goal is to help my clients integrate their experiences in order to feel more at peace in their lives. I foster a non-judgmental and compassionate therapeutic environment to assist clients to focus on issues such as grief/loss, couple relationships, work stress, addictions, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My approach to psychotherapy is client-centered and honors the relationship between the psychological and the sacred. I utilize various methods including cognitive-behavioral strategies, psychodynamics, mind/body connections through mindfulness practices and imagery, motivational interviewing and couple/family dynamics. As an LMFT, LCSW and LCADC, my approaches to therapy reflect over 46 years of working with clients, as well as university teaching, and post-graduate training. My work is informed as well by my own life cycle experiences with relationships, balancing personal life and work, as well as with life's inevitable setbacks and losses. I work collaboratively with my clients, helping you to function optimally "out there." Together we will work towards restoring your sense of well-being, and revitalizing your journey forward.
