My philosophy is that emotional pain is a result of feeling broken and incomplete. Therefore, therapy focuses on healing what is broken and seeking what is missing. Generally, we hope that something outside of ourselves will fill the emptiness — job, money, relationship, food, etc. In my experience filling the emptiness is an inside job. Accepting yourself, with or without those things, allows us to heal and enjoy the “stuff” so much more. My approach is collaborative, working together to explore and remove the obstacles in the way of your happiness and peace of mind. I have been in the mental health field since 1991 and specialize in all mood disorders, trauma recovery and addiction.
