My Approach to Helping

We are born with the innate ability to connect to others through love and attachment. When our parents, caregivers, siblings or peers are unable to accept us as we are, we try to adapt, changing our behaviors so we can maintain a sense of belonging and worth. Ironically, the ways we adapted as kids seem to backfire when we reach adulthood. Then our job becomes letting go of old patterns that don't work so we can find and express our true selves. I see therapy as the safe place to allow your true self to "test the waters." As you discover and develop your unique voice it becomes easier to risk being fully authentic in more relationships and situations. Success builds on success.

More Info About My Practice

My style is collaborative and interactive. I welcome ALL emotions, and spend lots of time with my clients laughing AND crying AND raging at injustice. I celebrate each moment you feel truly alive and welcome your exploration of family, work, spirituality, creativity, meaning and life purpose as part of your healing process.
