Most people understand how they have come to be where they are.

The question is: “How do we get there from here — and what does there look like?”

I assist and guide individuals through life transitions such as relationship, divorce, anxiety, depression, and career issues. My approach to therapy embraces an integration of compassion, empathy, and focusing on clarity and change. My clients and I engage in a supportive and co-participatory manner. I'm very passionate about my work and devote all of my intellect, experience, and caring to assist my clients. My approach to therapy is proactive and focuses more on forward movement than on reductive analysis and diagnosis. I help people to come out of the groove of old thinking and old behavior, enabling shifts of mind that get us unstuck. My work in relationships is at the core of my passion and I have developed an effective and solution-oriented approach to relationship challenges. People often ask me if it’s possible to change. If you’re motivated and devoted to our therapy process, it’s impossible not to change. I fervently believe in the potential of the individuals with whom I work; my mission is to summon forth that potential.
