Congratulations, you are taking the first step in exploring the possibility of therapy!  Therapy can be an intimidating process, which is why I want to provide you with as much information as possible to lessen your apprehension. YOU matter and YOUR feelings matter. My specialty is in providing support to individuals, couples and families who are seeking to live a richer and fuller life.  I strive to create an environment in which my clients feel safe to openly discuss their thoughts, emotions and relationships through the use of a holistic and integrative therapeutic approach. I believe each person’s life experiences are unique and as a therapist I work with each client to help them recognize and accept all of their feelings and experiences.  In our dialogue, we often can identify actions that may be limiting a person’s ability to create a positive change in their life.  As we work on clarifying personal values and developing greater mindfulness, it finally can become possible to move in the direction of growth.  I work collaboratively with my clients to help them gain insight to who they are as an individual, foster mindfulness, and establish self-acceptance. In doing so, we create the conditions for personal growth and development.
