About My Clients

I primarily work with high-functioning professionals and couples facing diverse challenges. From anxiety and depression to navigating life adjustments and work-related stress, my clients seek support in various areas. Relationship and family issues, questions about spirituality, and personal identity are also common themes we explore together. My goal is to provide a warm, empathetic space where clients feel heard and supported as they navigate their unique journeys.

My Background and Approach

In my journey to becoming a therapist, personal experiences deeply influenced my approach. Witnessing a family member's mental health transformation sparked my passion for helping others find healing. With a background in theology and 28 years in pastoral care, I've honed my listening skills and empathy. Overcoming my own struggles with depression further solidified my commitment to this path. My approach to therapy is grounded in curiosity, appreciation, and respect for each client's story. Together, we form a collaborative alliance to address obstacles and achieve their goals. I draw from various modalities, including CBT, ACT, and EFT, tailoring each session to meet individual needs. The therapeutic relationship is paramount. I create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where clients feel safe to explore their concerns openly. My goal is to empower clients to script their next life chapter with confidence and resilience.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My personal beliefs shape my approach to therapy profoundly. I firmly believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, irrespective of their struggles or past experiences. I believe in the power of empathy, compassion, and unconditional positive regard in facilitating healing and growth. I hold a deep respect for each person's unique journey and cultural background, valuing diversity and inclusivity in my practice. Furthermore, I believe in the importance of self-awareness, self-compassion, and authenticity in both the therapist and the client. I see therapy as a collaborative journey towards greater self-understanding, resilience, and fulfillment. My commitment to fostering a safe, nonjudgmental space reflects these core beliefs, guiding my work as a therapist.
