My personality is warm & friendly; I have a natural approach to eliciting emotional honesty. Appropriate humor and an inquisitive dialogue bring deep real issues to light. My primary goal is for us to build a safe & trusting relationship. I strive to understand your 'reality' from your perspective. The therapy is more interactive and conversational. I find clients appreciate feedback and insightful questioning. I can offer you a meaningful & dynamic relationship. Gratefully, I've witnessed amazing transformations with hard working individuals, couples & families.
My passion is to identify your unhealthy coping strategies that keep you stuck. With more self awareness, acceptance & compassion you can attend to your unmet emotional needs. An out growth of self compassion is more compassion and forgiveness for others, even those more difficult to connect to.
Primarily, I treat anxiety, depression & mood disorders. My professional training includes in-depth work with co-dependency, domestic violence/sexual assault, chronic low self-esteem, people pleasing as well as family enmeshment. I can help put your life more into perspective, seeing the bigger picture and helping you let go of resentment and self hatred.
