Therapist Overview
We are created for emotional connection. We want to feel safe, loved and understood by those closest to us. I believe this is the most motivating force in our lives and in our relationships with family, friendships, and work. Why should this goal be so tough to accomplish?Life seems to be ever more complicated, stressful. and farther away from us in values that we once treasured. For over 25 years as a practicing LMFT and LPC, I have had the privilege to work with clients to clarify goals, overcome fears, and to trust themselves to build healing and joyful relationships. I love my work! I consider the process of therapy as teamwork. At the core of the counseling process, is a relationship that is built on respect, empathy, highlighting the values that make your life worth living.This is an exciting process where you will discover that a purposeful and joy-filled life awaits you. The counseling experience is a process and a place to create safety, acceptance and empathy. I believe that self acceptance opens the door to positive changes bringing order to our experiences. Ultimately, the change we desire requires letting go of fears and moving to self-acceptance and love.
