When I was a defiant and moody teenager, my parents sought therapy for me. Therapy was place in which I felt supported and understood. I was able to learn great insight into how I tick and understanding others’ perspectives.  It was through that experience that I was inspired to create an environment for others that was both validating and encouraging for personal growth. I aim to establish a therapeutic relationship that enables my clients to move forward with their goals, whether it be their self-image, personal relationships, managing difficult emotions, or getting through an especially challenging life event. I pull from a number of different theories and therapeutic approaches. However, I believe that without a strong therapeutic relationship, no work can be done, thus that is my main focus. I can appreciate that waving the white flag and taking the step to meet with a mental health professional is not an easy task for many. I applaud those who take the risk to open up to a therapist, ask for that outside perspective, and take the plunge inward to learn more about how they can meet their goals! [Read More]

We all need to know that we have permission to feel whatever we are feeling right now without judgment. From this place, we can tell our story – our history, our losses, our difficulties, we begin to understand why particular things are difficult. If you are ready to tell and understand your story I’d like to hear it. Abandonment, shame, betrayal, and isolation are likely part of it – and these are hard to talk about. But, you were harmed in relationship and that is what you need for healing. A relationship that is experienced as safe and trustworthy, with someone who wants to hear what you have to say is a step towards healing . I offer a listening ear, a non-judgmental heart and a mind that is not locked into one method or theory. I offer a safe place where that may happen. There are no guarantees. The work is difficult because, unless there is an abundance of grace and goodness we cannot understand your story, how you were harmed and how it continues to impact you. Therapy is an adventure and it is a gift and you never know what wonderful thing you may get to unpack there. [Read More]
