Great to meet you!

There are times in life when we all need someone to lean on. Reaching out for help can be difficult when making a decision to openly share vulnerable parts of life. I welcome and honor the opportunity to walk alongside you when the time comes that you need to reach out for help from someone who will listen with empathy and compassion and offer tools to help you move through the challenging emotions and circumstances of life.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy from the perspective that feelings, thoughts and actions are interconnected in a most profound way. I believe that understanding this connection and learning how to become mindful and accepting of what is often difficult to embrace can be healing and liberating. Quite often wounds from as far back as childhood are still impacting daily functioning. Or there may be long-standing issues with anxiety, depression, other complexities that life brings our way quite unexpectedly. Whatever the case may be, if our mindset is well-balanced, we can expect positive outcomes.

What you can expect from me

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you sort things out and gain awareness of how to have a whole-person approach (body, mind, spirit) that can empower you to successfully move through troubling thoughts and feelings, heal, and move toward wholeness. You will learn how to identify and embrace some of the thoughts, feelings and behavior that may have you stuck. You will also learn tools to help strengthen and sustain you as you journey forward. We will set goals to measure your success and validate your positive efforts.
