My communication style

If you long for a better tomorrow and are ready to do the work, my years of experience affirm that there is effective help available to help you. I want to hear what brought you to come see me, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I consider you the expert on yourself, and will then add my expertise so that we can work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I came to psychology later in life, after I was married and raising a family on 2 continents. I loved researching effective therapies. I developed a passion for helping trauma survivors. I saw how hungry they were for a meaningful, peaceful life. I taught the types of treatments available when bad things happen to good people.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to set your goals for our time together. I teach about the mechanisms that link our body and brain, and how we can use these to bring change. I'll help you set goals and practice the new skills you'll learn. As you reach each goal, you will see how it leads to the life you seek.

Our first session

I begin by listening and learning about you, your strengths, and your challenges. I will take the time to explain what you can expect in and from our time together; I will also answer any questions you may have. Our 1st session is the time to see how we can work together. It also gives you the opportunity to decide if you think you can work with me
