Everyone embarks on unique journeys involving various overwhelming challenges including emotional and mental health issues, substance abuse and relationship issues. My colleagues and I fully understand that when two or more people cope with similar circumstances, no two minds function alike. Therefore, my services instill clients with how to love themselves through comprehensive, mental, emotional and spiritual enrichment regardless of their age, social or ethnic background, or physical capacities. Overall, the greatest satisfaction comes from seeing clients reach self-actualization by gaining strength, confidence and empowerment to confront their own inner conflicts "for we all smile in the same language".

In this fast-paced, stressful life we are sometimes presented with unexpected internal or external events that give us reason to pause and seek a safe place for reflection, stillness and healing. Whether you are facing memories of traumatic childhood experiences, a major life transition, the devastating loss of a loved-one or a personal challenge that threatens your connection with self and others, you have come to the right place. I believe that within suffering, there are always opportunities for learning and growth. Let me guide and assist you in your healing journey with over thirty years of experience and expertise.

Are anxiety and worrying getting in the way? Are they preventing you from engaging wholeheartedly and creating the life you want? I work with clients to take back their power by turning down the inner critic so they can begin to enjoy life again.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO*** When our thoughts get the better of us and we feel overwhelmed, I believe there is always hope to reach the peace for which we all yearn. Through psychotherapy, I support clients struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, identity, and relationships. We all have times when we aren’t sure where we stand in our lives and with others, so I offer a safe and welcoming space where clients can express and find themselves. We are complex individuals with our own unique stories made up of our experiences. Therapy is an empowering space where we can explore these without judgment.

My clients feel overwhelmed, unheard, isolated, and emotionally out of control. They are exhausted and looking for an open, accepting space to feel heard. Together, we explore therapies to help you feel connected and understood, approach yourself with kindness, and create effective strategies.

Every single person will need compassionate support, personalized guidance and wisdom, at some point in their lives. If you have a history of trauma, a painful childhood, or have suffered from anxiety/depression for a long time, then this is even more true of you. Emotions and thoughts can be confusing and even hurtful to yourself and others. Some mental states are so complex, that seem to be layer upon layer of suffering. Life can be a rollercoaster and healthy stable relationships appear to be too much work! Imagine not to be defined by your history or struggles. Imagine being able to tap into joy and inner strength at any time!

You’ve been through a lot. Maybe you've never told anyone your story; maybe you've only shared it with a select few. And you have heard that talking helps.

You might be feeling numb, angry, sad, stuck, hopeless, scared… You may not have a clear direction, or any idea of your goals. You might not know where or how to start. Yes - We all carry our past into the future. But the weight doesn’t have to be unbearable, and you don’t have to hold it alone.
