This may be the last thing you want to be doing. . . After all, things are hard enough with daily demands and stresses, keeping you way too busy to deal with even more difficult stuff! Really, who wants to pick at old wounds that have been doing just fine hiding under scar tissue? I get it! I’m a no B.S. kind of therapist who is a fierce advocate, encouraging coach, understanding and inquisitive listener and someone who is creatively and comfortably able to bring the outside stuff in and the inside stuff out.

Here’s A Bit More About Me:

– Because I know starting a new relationship, especially with a therapist, can be daunting, you will find me humorous, relaxed, a little goofy sometimes and keenly aware of not “leaving you hanging” in long awkward silences. I am also not the kind of therapist who responds with mostly nodding, staring at you and saying “uh hmm”. Though I can nod and say affirmative “uh hmms” with the best of them, I want it to be as conversational as you want and need it to be. I do this because I want it to be an informal, safe & nurturing space where you can let your guard down and feel at ease and accepted.
– While I use a lot of what are called “evidence based” approaches, I see people as individuals, not a diagnosis, so you won’t find me fitting you into a clinical program or a rigid approach I do to you. I approach people’s explorations, with curiosity, flexibility, adaptability, and humor, and will help you to do the same. Clinical modalities are important as a framework for understanding, but, I believe that in the relationship with a therapist, it is the feeling of being heard and understood that helps people find ways to make their lives better.
– So, come join me from the comfort of your home with your cat, dog, a cup of coffee, or whatever else makes you feel comfortable. It’s your time to share the things that are most important and meaningful to you.
