Services & Specialties

There is a certain vulnerability associated with growth and change--and I appreciate your courage and the steps and you are taking to move forward-- I know life's circumstances are sometimes painful and throw us off center.

You dont have to go through it alone--therapy can be a valuable process that allows you to deepen into yourself, create space to grow, heal, make changes needed to lead a more satisfying life, feel more grounded, and bring you back to feeling like your authentic self again.

I serve primarily adults for individual therapy.

One common question is: "How can therapy really help me?"

Some common outcomes of therapy can include:

• Relief from anxiety and depression
• Improved relationships with partners, parents, families, and your community
• Ability to find your voice and ability to set boundaries
• Reduced stress and frustration
• Support during life transitions
• Parenting and co-parenting solutions
• Development of practical life skills to take therapy "out of the office"
• Quieting "mind chatter" and taming a harsh 'inner critic'
• Expanded self esteem and deepening sense of SELF
• Transforming and letting go of resentments, guilt and emotional pain
• Understanding the role (and acceptance) of uncomfortable emotions like: anger, guilt, shame, self-criticism, resentment and judgement
• Reconnecting with joy and the sense of feeling "alive"
• An overall sense of well-being, groundedness, connection, creativity, compassion, and forgiveness
