I believe in the value and beauty of every individual and consider it a privilege to help someone recognize and experience the gifts they have inside. I see asking for help as a positive step, resulting in an opportunity to receive new insights, hope and strength for the tasks at hand. I know that life's lessons are often painful and yet can create the greatest opportunity for growth. Whether you are dealing with chronic mental or physical health problems, stressful life transitions, traumatic events or other life challenges, you can get help and healing.
As a psychotherapist for 27 years I have worked with individuals, couples, children, families and groups in private practice, clinic and in-patient settings. I have a positive and flexible approach, incorporating psychodynamic, trauma-informed, mindfulness, energy psychology, solution-focused and other techniques depending on the client's needs and goals.
At the root of most psychological distress are negative memories and unhealthy beliefs about oneself that have been internalized and are often hidden. Through empathic listening and skilled interventions, I will help you discover and guide you to remove these barriers so that you can have greater freedom, happiness and peace in your life.
