Therapy is a place to explore how you feel, think, and live in the present, which is influenced by your past. The core beliefs and feelings we hold about ourselves are the key to how we live our lives. When these beliefs are negative they lead to unhappiness and feeling stuck. This may come from past and present experiences, dysfunctional habitual patterns or distressing event(s). We are extremely loyal to the familiar, even when it is not working. Finding someone to talk to about your most private life requires an environment of safety built on trust and confidentiality. My work is in helping people understand how they got where they are and to expand the choices they feel they have in life. I value therapy as a way to develop a better sense of self, find one's voice, and increase energy toward a more fulfilling life. I honor the mind/body connection to well-being in building on the strengths and inner resources of the individual in uncovering options and barriers for healing and growth. My expertise includes relationship, LGBT issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and illness.
