I'm glad you have taken the first step to care for your mental and emotional health. I have been in private practice for 15 years working with children, teens, adults and families. I studied psychology at the University of California, Santa Cruz and earned my Masters Degree in Counseling at George Fox University in Oregon. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relational issues and discovering an overall better sense of purpose and well-being
I approach counseling as a facilitator of growth and holistic health. I believe it is my role as a therapist to help guide clients to discover the things in the past and in the present that are affecting their mental well-being. I also believe that it is my role to help clients identify their unused resources within themselves and in their environment and to initiate use of them. Through this new understanding and insight clients can begin to develop new choices for themselves now and in the future.
My role during each session is to provide a safe and genuine environment for you to explore what brings you to counseling. I will help you set goals and work towards meeting them.
