Seeking counseling takes courage. But it can be a remarkable journey towards a new life. My goal as a counselor is to compassionately help my clients develop insight, courage, acceptance, resiliency, and the ability to live the joyful, meaningful life that they seek.
In my counseling practice, I use an integrative approach, often with a mindfulness-based focus. Mindfulness is an “awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally.” It has helped many of my clients through the difficulties that life often presents. I use other approaches as well, depending on what my clients’ needs are, and what is most naturally comfortable for them. Primarily I work with adults in individual and couples therapy.
In every situation, I work respectfully with clients regardless of their beliefs, origin, or self-definition.
In my practice, I help clients who are experiencing:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- Grief and loss
- Difficulty creating meaning in their lives
- Feelings of emptiness or isolation
- Relationship issues (marriage, separation, divorce, work, family, friends, siblings, etc.)
- Family-of-origin issues
- Self-esteem issues
- Recent or past trauma
- Life transition and adjustment challenges
- Personal growth issues
I also welcome addressing each client’s relationship to spirituality, as well as any existential concerns if that is their wish. For some, this is a very important aspect of their lives and consequently a valuable part of the therapeutic process. This work has helped many clients integrate deeper experiences into their daily lives.

No matter the issue, my clients know that they are heard and accepted without judgment.
