I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist helping my clients find more congruency and peace in their lives. People often believe that their feelings of anxiety and depression are their individual problem or failure, but very often these feelings are just a normal response to a challenging world. They come to their first session worried that they are crazy or deficient in some way, but they’re not. You don’t have to feel this way. I can help you develop understandings about how you are responding to your world, how you are making meaning of your life and how those meanings might be causing you to feel anxious, sad, hopeless, and frustrated. I have decades of experience helping people create lives that feel safe, meaningful, and more joyfully aligned with who they are and what they want.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we spend time exploring how you feel and what you want and need in your life. I ask some questions and spend a lot of time listening to your unique experience of the world in order to create a kind of picture of your past, your present and the future that you want to create. The first session helps me get to know you better so we can develop meaningful goals and an effective treatment plan that delivers the results you want in your life. I look forward to meeting you soon.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As an experienced therapist, I make sure that our work together feels safe, comfortable, and sometimes even fun. I work at a pace that is comfortable for you - designed to meet your individual needs. I like to use humor when appropriate and I don’t judge. After 30 years of doing therapy, I promise I’ve heard it all, so rest easy! No judgement. No shame. Just the support you need and deserve.
