Here's what it comes down to: We all bump/hit/slam into obstacles that hold us back from creating meaningful, vibrant lives. And we all need effective help sometimes. What makes therapy the most effective? (1) The quality of the connection and trust you have with your therapist, and (2) your therapist's level of experience. Helping people get traction to get beyond those obstacles is what I've been doing for more than 20 years, and it's what I love to do. I bring together different approaches to suit your needs, and I’m compassionate, straightforward, and authentic. Let's find out if we'll work well together.

Psychotherapy is an investment in your quality of life. Clients who seek talk therapy from me benefit from my gentle humor, sensitive suggestions, unique insights, and careful listening. We work together to reach your unique goals, whether they are about improving your work life balance, healing from past relationships, building a life that you are proud of, or learning about the ways you think and feel. I often incorporate helpful books or in-session tasks that expand our conversations and deepen the benefits of talk therapy.

We are complex beings, shaped in all sorts of ways by our past and present relationships and experiences.

You look for psychotherapy when something is wrong, when you are fed up with not being able to get something you need. At the same time, there are some good things in your life and you have strengths. I will listen to you carefully and become your ally. Together we will discover how you are creating what you don't want, and come up with strategies to go toward what you do want. I have much experience and many great tools to put at your service. My satisfaction is to see my clients become more in charge of their lives - and happier!

“The Golden Rule” can be a helpful guide to psychotherapy: treating others as you would like to be treated, with gentleness, pacing, and respect. If a counseling session is likened to conversing with a knowledgeable advisor on the doorstep of your home, psychotherapy can be like inviting that advisor into the “parlor” or “living room” of your inner world based on trust, at-ease-ness, and confidence in your advisor’s insight. My approach to psychotherapy is interactive and strengths-based, starting with cognitive (thought-based) or behavioral coping skills, and moving into awareness of family of origin themes and the impact of past trauma when needed to activate more enduring personal growth in the client.

Psychotherapy is sacred work, and I hold a very safe and honest space for people to show up authentically. I use different modalities, but the most important factor is to have deep compassion and let the person know you care. Humor is essential, and there is as much laughing as crying in my office. I have been doing this work for nearly 30 years, and I am still in awe of the capacity people have to change.

Psychotherapy is a time each week to focus on yourself. The process of having another person demonstrate an investment in you and your growth increases curiosity about yourself, which enhance a sense of knowing yourself and your patterns. This knowledge allows for a greater sense of freedom in the choices you make, a stronger voice, and more rewarding relationships.

What is psychotherapy? Some people say “psychotherapy is the treatment to work on your personal situation”, and others say “psychotherapy is the place for you to talk about your problem and your therapist will work with you to figure out the better way to manage it” Well…both of them are correct. When you seek therapy, that does not mean you are weak. In fact, attending therapy is a brave behavior as you allow yourself to be vulnerable in front of another person (your therapist), and you are willing to touch on some undesirable characteristics about yourself and work on that. By doing so, you are getting closer to your true self and make your life more beautiful than ever.

You have inherent worth and value. My "Treasure Therapy" is a journey to rediscover that treasure. We are all interconnected as part of the same human “family” systems or fields. By increasing awareness of ourselves and others around us, and increasing our acceptance of ourselves and others, we are changed. Therefore, rather than trying to outright change you, my approach starts with mindfulness and paradoxical acceptance. Change is a byproduct of radical acceptance.
