Healing in therapy begins by finding a therapist who is a good fit. I am glad you found your way to this website to find someone who may be a good fit for you. My areas of focus are helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. These struggles can lead us to feel stuck, frightened, sad, exhausted, and not fully ourselves, in part because our attention is drawn to a few strong feelings, a few loud inner voices, and a few number of life choices. The therapy I offer centers around noticing and changing self-defeating patterns and expanding the range of what we allow ourselves to feel, think, and do. When we feel more open to a range of experience within ourselves, we feel more free to give voice to our experience and make choices more consistent with our deepest sense of who we are and what we want. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I focus on healing pain from the past that stays with us as an unwanted part of the present. Because each of us struggles in different ways, I work collaboratively in identifying goals for therapy and in finding ways to reach those goals. My style is warm and interactive, genuine and direct, with equal focus on exploring your feelings, thoughts, and choices.
