Personal Statement

I believe that many people benefit from a directive therapy style that can support AND challenge them. Using a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, I offer direct feedback when appropriate & will assist you in identifying unhealthy patterns & obstacles to having a satisfying life. While I adjust my approach to each client's unique needs, a profound sense of humanity is my personal & professional foundation. I believe the key is tapping into one's original self-love that may be long-buried or difficult to recognize. Seeking therapy is a wonderful gift to your self & I want to honor that as best as I can!

My clinical experience includes settings such as psychiatric hospitals, residential rehab centers, out-patient clinics, & a special education school. Since 2007 I have focused primarily on individual, couples, & family therapy treating a wide spectrum of issues & disorders. I find it incredibly rewarding to work closely with those trying to make changes in themselves & their lives.

Some of my specialties are: depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, eating disorders, low self-esteem, codependency, addictive behavior, childhood trauma, and relationship problems.
