As a counseling psychologist, I assess your unique strengths & perceived "weaknesses." As they become more clearly defined, you and I will collaborate on ways to highlight and maximize strengths & at the same time to cope with and minimize challenges holding you back from your goals. My understanding of a person's overall wellness, comes from a holistic view of the emotional/feeling mind, the physical, logical body and the sometimes elusive, spirit & soul.

People meet with me to understand why they keep falling into the same patterns which have them feeling "stuck" between a rock & a hard place that contributes to their anxiety, confusion or unhappiness. My psychodynamic/existential approach examines the sometimes unconscious factors to increase self awareness & solutions for change. Therapy can also help improve relationships by finding healthy ways to express complex or conflicting emotions in communications with others.

I focus on establishing safety and trust in sessions before moving on to tackle the tougher stuff. I believe therapy works best when it is regular and consistent so I encourage you to contact me if you are ready to commit to the work on an ongoing basis. If you are ready, we will start the process of exploring how you can realize your truest potential and authentic, happier self.
