"Everyday is about becoming"
I believe that going through a process of self-reflection and change is powerful and brave. It helps us identify how we are getting in our own way in having a better quality of life. In responsibility their is power. Everyone wants to feel content and satisfied with themselves and the world they build around them but we struggle to achieve this goal because we have been hurt, disappointed, betrayed, or doubt ourselves. Find your personal power and change your world. I am with you.

Clients report that they like that I have a combination of life experience, am a "few steps removed" from their lives and that I often supply handouts, or make suggestions of books to read or movies to watch to assist them with what they have come to see me about.
What I love about being a Psychotherapist is having the capacity to be a holder of hope. A holder of hope is a person who can join with you in the darkest hour, in the depths of despair and can see you as whole and joyful and can hold that vision even if you cannot see it for yourself yet.

Creative, practical treatment that promotes resilience and helps you build the life you imagine. I don't believe in lingering too much in the past to help you with the present or future. The past informs our work, but is not the general focus of it. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and use the skills-based model as the foundation of our work, combined with a warm, personal approach derived from a lifetime in the creative arts. When you feel you no longer need to see me, and you trust the coping skills and perspective you have developed, my work is complete, and that is my goal.
I believe that at times it is difficult for us to see things clearly. My goal is to help you re-adjust your way of looking at yourself and your world, and to help you realize what is possible. I believe that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship that develops between you and me.
Our mission is to provide the finest services to assist individuals, couples, families, and businesses to energize and heal themselves and their relationships to connect at the most intimate level possible, because–“It’s All About Relationships!”
