About

Have you ever caught yourself thinking “I really just wish I could turn my brain off!” or “I know what I need to do to make a change- why can’t I get myself to do it!?”… Change is hard, confusing, and sometimes completely overwhelming- but you don't have to navigate this journey alone. Right now, you may feel hopeless, confused and/or just overall ‘stuck’- this ‘stuck’ feeling can hinder us from reaching our fullest potential in so many areas of our lives. Change is a process and my role is to guide you through it. Together we will explore what is working in your life and identify the areas that may be problematic for you. While building upon your existing strengths, I strive to help you to identify and adjust limiting patterns of behavior, gain insight, improve coping skills and recognize previously undiscovered potential. Genuine respect for your individual worth and guidance toward discovering your own resilience are an essential part of the therapeutic experience. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a vessel for change, and that there is a tremendous sense of meaning and power in a person’s story being heard and change being witnessed. I'm ready when you are!
