Life today is stressful and complicated. So many people are walking around pretending things are fine, not sharing what's really on their mind because they feel like no one will understand. That's a really tough place to be. I approach therapy as a caring, thoughtful, solution-focused friend. At the first session people often say, "Oh my gosh, I don't know where to start. I am all over the place!" and my response is, "No worries! Just dump it all out here and I'll pick up the pieces. We'll make sense of it together". I can be very straightforward; I don’t blow smoke! We will figure out where you want to go and start chipping away at making it happen.
Our first session is me getting to know you and what brought you to the point of reaching out for help. Through our conversation we will start to determine whether or not we are a fit. A huge part of the efficacy of therapy is the rapport between you and your counselor. If you don't feel comfortable for whatever reason, that's okay! If we are a fit, we will identify a couple of goals for our work together. I'll bring an objective perspective to the table and you bring honesty and a willingness to make the necessary changes.
I'm a married mother of three adult children and foster parent. Solidly in middle age, I have a good amount of life experience to beef up the therapeutic strategies I love that are Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Clients have told me they appreciate my straightforward approach to problem solving and interpersonal conflict.
I like working with busy adults who are trying to fit ten pounds of stuff in a five pound bag. If you want or need to examine priorities, trim back life's demands and find permission to relax, we might be a great fit. I have an upfront style; no beating around the bush. Life is short: Let's pick things apart, start making changes, and find the life you want to be living.

DBT is my favorite treatment method because it provides the building blocks for a stable and productive life. Learning to pay attention to the moment, manage thoughts and feelings, and interact effectively with others are critical for happiness and healthy relationships.
