I believe that everyone is a person to be loved, not a thing to be judged or used. Unfortunately, many of us don’t realize this because we get caught up in negative thinking, stuck in painful feelings, or trapped within unhealthy ways of relating. Therapy can help us go deeper and get to the root of our psychological and relational struggles.

​

My approach to counseling involves helping individuals rediscover their authentic self as the foundation for personal healing and having fulfilling relationships. I help couples restore love and trustworthiness by replacing painful recurring cycles with improved communication, an empathic awareness of feelings and needs, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their partner.

 

Change can seem difficult and overwhelming. You don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help. We can create a safe place to take an honest look at whatever is blocking the essential goodness and compassion that is already within you.

 

I am also comfortable with individuals and couples who want therapy to include transcendent meaning and purpose. While staying within the spiritual and philosophical worldview of each client, I am able to work collaboratively and respectfully with people from different religious traditions, those who are exclusively committed to a particular religious tradition, as well as those who are not religious at all and those who have been harmed by spiritual abuse or toxic religiosity.
