Making the first move to get therapy is the hardest part. But, over my 25-year span as a counselor, I have never met anyone who wasn't glad they took that first step! Life can be overwhelming and you may feel like you have the answers, yet still aren't feeling better. Often the voice of an experienced professional is what it takes to put those answers into action. I will approach our sessions drawing from CBT, DBT and Emotionally Focused therapies. I am goal-oriented and client-centered. I want you to leave therapy with the changes that you came in looking for. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship and career issues. I am passionate about women's issues, and I am certified in both eating disorders/weight issues and hypnotherapy. I also have extensive experience working with LGBTQ individuals and couples. It is important to find a therapist that makes you feel comfortable and safe. I believe the therapist/client bond is the most important part of therapy. I want us to get to know each other as people. Our personalities, our senses of humor, our attitudes. If that bond is there, together we can make change happen!
