Sometimes life can become distressing or confusing. This can include one’s identity, life direction, relationships, vocation, or the residue of traumatic experiences. 

I see psychotherapy as a shared inquiry in which we collaboratively make sense of your experience. I assume that people already have the internal resources to orient to their life’s challenges, but it is sometimes helpful to have support in accessing them. I do not see people as “broken” and I do not see my role as “fixing.” I do understand, though, that sometimes the distress is overwhelming and isolating. At those times, the attention and care of another can relieve suffering and reveal new possibilities. 

I believe that durable change emerges from the accumulation of moment-by-moment internal shifts that are grounded in increasing awareness. I bring more than thirty years of experience to my practice, including extensive training in a range of approaches that I draw on to offer a larger perspective and invite meaningful change.
