About
We often seek therapy because we find ourselves feeling lost or overwhelmed by life's stressors and decide that we no longer want to go it alone. My approach is collaborative; I act as a companion or guide to help people identify and explore patterns in their relationships- with others and with themselves. I also foster understanding of how implicit beliefs, formed early in life, influence how we tend to feel and behave now- things that can seem difficult to change. This powerful process allows those beliefs and patterns to come into conscious awareness; from there, we can gain freedom to experience and live life more fully. In addition to therapy, I also offer psychological assessment for youth (age 5+) and adults. I use a holistic and person-centered approach to help you gain diagnostic clarity and insight into cognitive style, strengths, and growth areas for you or or child, in order to provide a roadmap toward achieving your goals.
