Meet Hope

Once upon a time, I was a creative director for an advertising agency. 

Why should you know this about your therapist? 

Because I took the amazing journey that I now help others embark upon:  coming home to your sacred self.  I can help you find a clear path forward and achieve peace within yourself.  Together, we will explore questions such as what is the meaning and the gift of the problem that brought you to therapy in the first place?  Who are you beyond the social masks you wear and the roles you play?  What are you meant to do in this life? What beliefs will you have to transform to get there?  What relationships will you need to cultivate and which will you need to change?  What coping skills do you need to add to your toolbox to grow beyond where you are now?  Whose life are you living anyway?  

Many of us spend so much time trying to satisfy the expectations of others, we never learn how to fully inhabit our own lives.

For 11 years, I wrote jingles, tv and radio spots, and print ads. Then I got sick. Like many people who develop disease, I came to realize that it was a reflection of my dis-ease in life.  And it led to a great awakening. 

I quit my job.  Began meditating.  And started on the path to unearth my true self.  My inner GPS led me to become a psychotherapist and do the work of my dreams. 

Of course, nothing is ever wasted on the path.  The creativity I brought to clients in my former career, I now bring to my psychotherapy practice. I offer a highly personalized approach, crafting interventions to meet each person’s particular needs. I customize meditations and visualizations to help folks see themselves with more clarity and access new ways of being.  I can “see in the dark,” intuiting what a person is feeling or the issue behind the feeling.  Nothing is more precious than being seen and understood.  

You are not crazy or broken.  We all have a true self that remains untouched by whatever has happened to us.  I have never come across a behavior that didn’t make sense given what a person has been through in their life.  You can find yourSelf.  The True You.  You can live from that place.  First, in baby steps.  Then, over time, more and more.

It is a privilege to do this sacred work. 

It would be my honor to walk this path of healing and awakening with you.
