About me
Hello, I have over 20 years being a therapist. I currently see individuals with issues ranging from anxiety to mood disorders, relationship issues, parenting issues, LGBTQ+, and alternative relationships.
Rethink, Reframe, Realign, Recover. Do you feel as if your life is a sandcastle with the water always threatening to wash it out to sea? I work with clients to explore how unresolved issues from the past impact the present. In an open and safe environment, we explore authentic feelings and lost aspects of self often censored in general society, toward greater personal insight, growth, and change. An accepting and validating therapy relationship can be a key element in the healing of old wounds.
I work within a multitude of treatment modalities, with a variety of clients. I use a mixture of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I have years of experience working with clients on issues ranging from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and sexual issues.
I provide a safe environment that will allow us to delve deeper into patterns of the old coping skills that no longer serve you. Through our teamwork together, you can obtain a deeper understanding of yourself and others. Finances should not be a worry when seeking help, I work on a sliding scale so that therapy can be affordable to you.
