I believe most clients want to enjoy a life which includes meaning, balance, and solid relationships including with themselves. Self-understanding and self-compassion contribute to self-empowerment and a stable sense of well-being whether alone or with others. Feeling that your therapist "gets you" and likes you can make it safe to explore one's inner world and reflect on thoughts, emotions, default patterns and potential new behaviors. I draw on many approaches in counseling and trauma recov...
Have you ever found yourself saying or doing something when frustrated, angry, or afraid, then thinking: “Why did I do/say that?! That’s not me!” There's a reason for that, and I can help you find it. For some of us, our childhood was not a safe place. We did not feel safe, cared for, wanted, nurtured, seen or heard. We formed beliefs about ourselves and protective behaviors that made sense at the time, but as adults, they're getting in the way of happy, productive lives. I specialize in ...

I believe that most people have parts of themselves that are affirmed and other parts that have gone underground — perhaps as a result of relational injury, lack of environmental mirroring, or trauma. I seek to develop a supportive relationship where clients can begin to see the unseen and speak the unspeakable and, with self compas...
