About My Clients

If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious , the worst place you can be is alone inside your own head. When we are depressed or anxious the stories we tell ourselves are distorted. Most of us are painfully critical of ourselves. Voicing your pain and confusion to someone compassionate and experienced changes things. It brings clarity, hope , and a way to find your strengths again.

My Background and Approach

Over the last 30 years I have been a therapist in many capacities ......agencies, hospitals, private group practices....and now in my own practice. I have had training in many modalities over the years....The Gottman Method, Imago Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Recently I finished a 6 month training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. I like to continue to grow and learn. My approach is based on a psychodynamic model. I am client-led and relationship based. I am interested in understanding you and the influences that have shaped your life. Together we will figure out what is in your way, and help you get where you are trying to go.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in therapy. I've seen it work in my own life and the in the lives of so many of my clients. Beyond the mental health training I have gotten over the years, I have learned equally as much about life from navigating 28 years of marriage and raising and launching two kids into adulthood. Im proud of the experience and knowledge I can bring to my clients.
