Welcome

I want to welcome you to a judgment-free and emotionally safe space, where compassion, respect, and unconditional positive support is central to my therapeutic approach.  If you are reading these words then perhaps you are feeling alone, anxious, depressed, or simply frustrated by a part of your life that you would ultimately like to see improve.

My approach to mental health counseling is humanistic with an emphasis on deriving existential or contextual meaning from all life events.  Using a strengths-based approach, that identifies both assets and challenges, I utilize practical techniques that focus on developing stronger emotional wellness, a better self-understanding, and continual self-improvement.  I believe that each one of us, regardless of our history and background, is worthy of genuine happiness through the act of self-compassion.  This process often involves regaining a more present and in-the-moment connection with our body, thoughts, and feelings.

Finding meaning in life, from a non-judgmental perspective, may require changing how we respond to life events.  My approach to Psychotherapy is highly collaborative and involves setting specifically tailored goals using a variety of creative processes.  This includes addressing feelings of unfairness, developing more effective communication skills, and becoming keenly aware of others within our emotional environment.  Together we can work on challenges that may currently seem overwhelming and explore ways that will help you enhance and improve your relationship with your self, as well as others.
