I have been a practicing therapist for twenty years. I am married and the parent of three children. I have had my own struggles (like all of us) with family issues and anxiety and grief. I think of my own life and experiences as practice ground for what might truly work to soothe and comfort and motivate. I began my career as a social worker, and have worked with people from many different cultures, backgrounds and walks of life.
I am a strengths based therapist first and foremost. I believe that all of us have resources and abilities that get covered up and lost in the stress of daily life. I see a big part of my job as uncovering all of the things that you are doing right, and helping you to do more of those things. I practice cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused therapy and mindfulness based therapy.
I hope that you would leave our sessions feeling seen and heard, reassured and validated in your strengths and abilities, and with renewed hope and inspiration to tackle your current challenges.
