I attack the problem and not the person. I approach therapy using people's own strengths, while challenging unhealthy thoughts, and replacing them with healthy, productive thoughts to increase optimal functioning.

I commonly see people with concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and grief. In a session, we will look at what you are hoping to get from the counseling experience and collaboratively discover what will work for your situation, which may involve getting unstuck from emotional andor behavioral issues. My orientation includes considering our relationships in life. We will take into account relational factors, which may include environments, people, culture, expectations, and roles. The therapy process may assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of your values and skills toward transformative change. I also specialize in couples counseling (communication, trust, and infidelity) through self-pay only. In couples counseling, I do not take sides. I am trained and skilled in seeing relational dynamics, and we will move toward building a better connection between you and your loved one. I have been in practice for over 25 years. My process assures that your ideas will be respected; I provide a non-judgmental space to explore concerns. I see clients through a computer, laptop, tablet, or cellphone and use a high-quality platform to ensure a good connection and a smooth process. Paperwork is completed over the device and signed electronically.
I believe that psychotherapy must respect the wisdom of mind and body, be tailored to your unique history and individual needs and be conducted in an atmosphere of absolute care and respect. I place great value on creating a relationship with you that makes it safe to explore any issue, and express any feeling, trusting that it will be met by understanding, not judgment. I believe that the notion of "radical acceptance" so well articulated by Tara Brach in her book of the same name, is key for emotional healing and a successful psychotherapy process; that, from a place of self knowledge and self acceptance, you can move beyond issues that are a legacy from the past, find peace of mind in the present, and look forward to the future with increasing optimism and hope.
I help people recover from trauma. I know what it's like to wake up every day feeling disconnected and afraid. I know the depression, anxiety, and confusion that accompany surviving a traumatic experience. I know that it takes time to understand what you've been through; that it was real, it wasn't imagined, and that any damage done was not of your own making. I also know that healing is possible. It is possible for you to feel confident and safe in your own body. To trust yourself, and have faith in your choices. To know that you are not your past, you are already whole and complete, and YOU are the expert on your own life. Together, we will combine clinical knowledge, intuitive wisdom, and life experience (both yours and mine), for a deeply personal & individualized treatment approach. The more we understand ourselves and our behavior, the more we are able to recognize what works and what doesn't. This helps get us back into the driver's seat of our own lives. I remember the sensation of knowing that something was wrong, but not being able to name it. With the help of a therapist, I was able to recover from years of childhood sexual trauma and regain control of my own life. Whether you are seeking treatment for yourself, your relationship, your family or someone else, I am here and I can help.
