Hello and thank you for reaching out! What I will bring to this venture is 30 plus years of experience, providing person-centered, strength based and trauma informed therapy to adults with a wide range of presenting concerns. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and am a Licensed Therapist. Together we will lay the groundwork for connection and trust. I am dedicated to creating a safe environment, reflecting validation, acceptance and affirmation, as well as solid guidance. When pain, loss, fear, anger, and indecision are shared, these emotions become understood as part of a person's unique story. Whether you are struggling with life transitions, recognizing relationship or career patterns that seem self-defeating, or facing more intense and debilitating symptoms associated with panic/anxiety, depression, distorted thoughts, PTSD, substance use, or other self-defeating habits, I can provide a calm presence and the expertise to facilitate movement through the stuck places toward self-acceptance and actualization.

I've worked with Frances for a little less than a year and in that time I have grown so much. She has provided guidance with relationship problems, childhood experiences, depression, anxiety, co-dependency, inter-personal conflicts, and goal-setting for the future. She's an amazing listener and a wonderful friend who's given me space to talk about my life in a way that I've never experienced with any other therapist.

Having only had two session with Frances, I am confident I don’t need to shop around. She is attentive and truly wants to understand and help me. I feel like she listens just as much as contributes in breaking down what I am feeling to help me understand better what I need to heal.
