Personal Statement

I know how hard it can be to acknowledge you need help. The first step is often the most difficult in your journey towards health and healing. We will work together to create more satisfying relationships and a more fulfilling life. I am committed to providing a safe place for you to explore your needs and to help you heal and grow. I believe the therapeutic relationship is sacred. Together we will begin repairing your capacity to trust, but trust wisely.

I view symptoms as a way of calling attention to unrecognized needs and unexpressed feelings. Symptoms also may point to imbalances in the family system or your body’s system.

Along with the painful feelings, we lock away our true selves, our vulnerability, our love, and our beauty. By slowly opening to our secret pain, grief, anger and other feelings, we also regain access to our capacity for intimacy and joy.

I offer individual, group, family, and couples therapy. I treat adults and adolescents.
