I believe symptoms are a request from the psyche to grow — whether this manifests as depression, anxiety, or just a feeling that you want more from your life or your relationships.  Or you may be experiencing a transition, grief, or loss and need support to navigate this change.  Therapy creates a space in which healing and growth can happen.  I believe humans have a natural, inherent tendency toward health and self-actualization.  We are hard-wired to live good and meaningful lives, but sometimes need support to do so.  Therapy helps clients feel “safe and seen,” which helps you feel better, but it also helps you think better and make important changes and adjustments to your life.

I use a diverse variety of humanistic modalities with clients, including Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, the Emotional Freedom Technique, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  I am a frequent presenter on stress management and work/life balance.  I love working with busy professionals, helping improve their wellness – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually – to help them find greater satisfaction and happiness, both at home and at work.
