Therapy with me utilizes information about whats happening currently in your life, how it relates to your past, and what the information about the relationship between therapist and client has to inform you/us about how to create the change you desire. The way that your mind, body, and thought process happen in the moment, in the therapy room is the doorway to the understanding and change needed to live a happier or more meaningful life.

As humans, we need many kinds of nourishment in order to thrive. If we didn't eat for a few days, we wouldn't expect to not be hungry, right? Similarly, if we don't have the quality of human connection or meaning that humans also need to flourish, we will also feel undernourished in a different way. This can lead to a variety of "symptoms" (no diagnosing or judging) including depression or depressed feelings, anxiety, lack of energy, lack of meaning, etc. that, one identified, can relieve the self judgment and shame, leaving you feeling back in control of a more enjoyable life.

I love working with relationships. Whether in individual or couples therapy, we became who we are largely because of significant past and present relationships. Being able to "hear" yourself and others in your life will allow the opportunity for better communication and better relationships. Our species literally evolved to NEED close personal connections. The authentic relationships we build and the understanding and nurturing of other relationships in our lives regulates our nervous system and alleviates anxiety and depression.

In my free time I like to meditate, exercise, read, waterski, and swim. I am a strong advocate of therapists being in their own therapy and examining their own lives as the most critical part of being able to show up to their clients and facilitate connections and change.
