I have been a mental health professional for 25 years, and I have had the privilege to work with adults from a wide variety of backgrounds. My passion is to build a strong trusting relationship with my clients and to help them clarify both their challenges and strengths so that they can find their path to healing. My clients often come into therapy feeling lost or confused, and they are able to learn that with a bit of hard work and perseverance, they can start making progress one step at a time. I have training and experience utilizing a wide range of therapeutic approaches which allows me to tailor my approach to fit my client's unique situation and goals. The theoretical models I draw from include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Informed Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). If you are struggling in your life and feel that your efforts to make changes have not been working, please know that therapy can help you to get un-stuck from emotional pain. I would be happy to offer you a 15 minute free consultation in order for us both to get to know each other a bit and to decide if we are a good fit for working together.
