Here are some of my guiding assumptions:

• You already possess the seeds of everything you need.
• You are the expert and hold the answers about you within you.
• Mental health treatment is often about building or restoring one’s inner compass.
• Therapists who cannot express passion and joy cannot aid others in doing so.
• Psychotherapy is about finding a way to move through life that is fulfilling, meaningful, and satisfying.

I am trained in a wide variety of approaches to therapy.  Since each person comes with unique needs and goals for therapy, our work will be tuned to what you want from the process.  In order to be an effective therapist and coach, I am committed to continuous personal growth and self-awareness. At all times, the best interest of my clients remains my primary focus.

I believe we all have the capacity within us to overcome the most difficult challenges, heal from the most painful life experiences and achieve our most valued personal goals.  I work with a broad range of issues and goals.

I enjoy working with older adolescents and adults, who want to make positive changes to improve their well being, strengthen their relationships with others and establish practices that enable a satisfying and meaningful life.
