Seeking therapy takes courage. One is looking for connection and trust, a safe space for your innermost thoughts and feelings. My goal is to help you work through any problems that are preventing you from living your best possible life. Together we will discover your own strengths and find strategies for working through the issues that bring you to therapy. We are all works in progress, and my ultimate purpose is to help you express yourself fully and learn techniques for self-love and forgiveness.Therapy can be challenging work, but with it comes the freedom to more fully enjoy your life. We will process emotions and review old patterns and beliefs, while looking at new and different ways of examining your life. We will work to develop healthier coping skills and increase self-awareness.I work with young adults, adults and seniors, particularly those in life transitions. My focus is on adjustment difficulties, relationships, developmental challenges, grief, loss, anxiety and depression. I primarily use insight-oriented, supportive, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavior therapy approaches. I also work from the perspective of your spiritual influence.
