Welcome.  It is a privilege for me to help you along your way on this journey of being human.  I am a strength-based therapist who can offer you support and resources to meet your personal needs, deal with problems, navigate life transitions, and grow in positive directions.   People heal in different ways.  I can work safely with you to help you manage stress by prioritizing what is meaningful to you and learning how to access your own inner calm.  You can start feeling better with this brief approach; however, optimum or more sustainable growth usually involves making a commitment to heal your relationship to your past so that you can more fully be alive in the present.  I will educate you about new treatments and support you in your therapy goals.

Highly Sensitive Personality Trait (HSP):  I have additional training and am experienced with supporting stress management and insight in clients who are highly sensitive. [See research done by Dr. Elaine Aron: http://hsperson.com/].   Learn to honor your sensitive ways, then if you seek expansive growth and actualization, let's collaborate to increase your self-acceptance and ease while you take the steps to embody your life's vision.

Scope of Practice:  Please note, my part-time private practice is not set up to handle the needs of persons in crisis.  My work with personality trait sensitivity relies on insight and has the best outcomes with clients who are functioning and motivated to grow.  If you have an active substance abuse problem, are at risk for domestic violence, or have current suicidal thoughts, those are crisis situations:  If you are experiencing an immediate mental health crisis, call 2-1-1 for assistance.  If you are seeking to initiate therapy with a community provider during times of crisis, I am glad to provide you with contact information from my list of trusted colleagues.  If you want to work with me at a later time to address the role of sensitivity in your life, I am glad to discuss that with you then.
   
Confidentiality.  Your confidentiality is fully protected in our work together.   To ensure the quality of your care, I participate in continued education and periodic peer consultation.  During consultations, identifying client information is removed.
