Ever wonder, "why is this so hard?" "How did I find myself here?" "What do I do now?" You may feel hopeless, or stuck. The desire to get unstuck -- to make changes and show up for life in a happier, healthier way -- is a noble one. The therapeutic relationship provides a safe, sacred space for you to explore new possibilities, especially as the journey may feel overwhelming at times. We often uncover thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve you well. Through a variety of interventions, tailored to your individual needs, change IS possible! It is never too late to start caring for ourselves and others more effectively.
For 20+ years I've worked with clients to address depression, anxiety, chronic pain, relationship issues, substance use reduction or elimination, trauma, family conflict, etc. Using a strengths-based perspective, I draw from CBT, MI, DBT, EMDR, systems theory, and pain reprocessing therapy. Together, we collaborate to find the resolutions that fit you best.
It is an honor to be invited to walk with someone along their life's journey. In a supportive environment, we address the specifics of what brought you to therapy with compassion, grace, hope, and some humor to boot. I have had the privilege of working with many amazing individuals over my career; I'm excited for the opportunity to work with you!
