Allow connection. Whatever's going on, we can discover what's real. I am a clinical therapist, providing treatment for bipolar moods alongside anxiety and depression during end of life circumstances. My primary goal is establishing resiliency through a trusting relationship. I strive towards stability in living in the community, better understanding ourselves in relationships, and relieving troubling circumstances. Together we can clarify what's happening, look for the ease, and find new ways for you to feel honestly alive. I use my experience from PHP/IOP/Inpatient hospitalization programs and a collection of interpersonal processes including cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, and integrative/holistic. I try to maintain the right balance of support and challenge. I listen for both what is said and not said and bring attention to emerging feelings, connections, and insights. Although successful therapy can be uncomfortable, painful, and even funny, trust and respect in the therapeutic relationship are essential to enable and promote change. Let's start!
