I am a Licensed Psychotherapist and Life Coach with over 28 years of experience, compassionate about helping others to rise above and better deal with their life challenges, both past and present. I also had the pleasure of being licensed as a psychologist in Beijing, China and worked with expats from around the globe during my years as an Expat. I have successfully treated depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, eating disorders, career-related, and expat issues. I've also helped those who have experienced emotional trauma/other abuse. I invite you to not just work on "getting better" but to work on "getting well".
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the steps necessary to make changes. If you're ready to take that step, commit to treatment, then I am here to support and empower you to not just feel better but to get well. The capacity to overcome issues and engage in holistic care remains one of the best gifts you give to yourself.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach is eclectic in nature often utilizing cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, postitive psychology, acceptance and committment, cultural sensitivity, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapies. I will tailor our session including the dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique circumstances.
I continue to fully enjoy helping others and remain very passionate about my career choice. Change is necessary in all of our lives at various points, sometimes willingly and other times due to various circumstances. Independent of how you got to the point you are at this time in your life, I believe that sorting through your past, reviewing your present, and planning for the future is key to a successful outcome for you. I'm happy to help you better understand yourself and charting your course of action moving forward.
