Psychotherapist and Consultant
"In the midst of winter, I found there was within me, an invincible summer."
-Albert Camus
I've always said that finding a good therapist is like finding a good pair of shoes; you have to find one that fits. Some people "fit" better than others.
Making the decision to engage in therapy is courageous. It's a brave decision that says, "I realize that there is something that I need to talk about or change and I'd like to talk to someone impartial who can help."
As a clinician, I believe my role is to help support self-discovery, to facilitate increased personal insight, and to work together with you to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be.
On Therapy with Children, Adolescents and Families:
"I Don't believe that working with kids and adolescents is about "Here fix my kid, It's about, Here help us figure out what we all need to do differently to have a different outcome."
On Parenting Support:
"Being a Parent is the Hardest Job on the planet because the outcome matters so much. You don't get a second chance at raising your Child. We care and it's hard to know when to do this or that because they don't come with a guidebook or user manual."
On therapy with Adults:
"I Don't believe that I am an expert on how to live. I am a good listener and have had a life of challenges and triumphs. I understand Loss and challenge but have also turned tragedy to Triumph. i live an authentic and Courageous life, doing a job that i am passionate about and love. I believe we can only control ourselves. We have to be the heroes of our own lives. We can not wait, expect or hope for our happiness. We must be the creators of it."
