People are naturally resilient with the right support. Therapy facilitates the healing process by helping you deeply understand yourself, with compassion, so your presenting concerns can be effectively addressed. My approach varies to fit the style and presenting issues of each patient. Typically, I take a holistic approach combining in-depth traditional talk therapy with more recent, empirically-validated and present-focused approaches. I sometimes act as a life coach, helping patients change behaviors and discern choices that lead toward the lives they envision. My predominant focus is guiding deeper exploration that results in real inner transformation, personal fulfillment, and learning to love yourself.

I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, group therapy, parenting, and helping patients understand their life purpose, meaning, and inner sustenance. My background in movement and body awareness provides the foundation for walking you through the latest researched interventions for stress, including mindfulness. Group therapy powerfully helps in understanding yourself in relationships and healing relational dynamics.

Over 10 years in practice I have seen a consistent theme of underlying pain stemming from a lack of self-love. Loving yourself is what provides resilience when you make mistakes or get hurt in relationships. I enjoy joining patients on a rescue mission for their true selves and discovering their inner beauty and worth.
