"We should not have to wait until we are sick to be well." ~ Diane McLaren
The connection between a healthy mind and body can not be disputed. Too much mental anguish, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship conflict, and anger will impact on an individuals' mental and physical well being, and will carry over into all areas of one's life. It is never too late to make the necessary changes and adjustments that will ensure a healthier and happier life style. If you are experiencing any of these problems, I know that I can assist you in resolving these issues.

I work collaboratively with clients to fully understand their needs in order to develop an effective treatment plan. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who experience difficulty in finding happiness and success. For many individuals, feelings of anxiety, depression or anger may interfere with daily life. Other individuals may face life transitions and have difficulty coping with these changes.

I am passionate about helping people find solutions to the problems that keep them from living an enjoyable, purposeful, and fulfilled life. Anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, emotional distress, low self-worth, trauma, and limited tools and skills can make life feel unmanageable. Choosing to seek therapy will allow you to bring these burdens to someone who will listen, care, and work with you at your own pace. You will be able to learn more about yourself, heal from the past, and develop strategies for positive and lasting change.

For some individuals, therapy can be a frightening step to take on the journey of self-improvement. For others, it can be the piece needed to help turn one's life in a more positive direction. If you are looking to begin on this journey, I believe I can be of help.

Life is complex and often overwhelming. The decision to seek counseling is a courageous step! I believe this courage stems from a desire and readiness to find more meaning in your life. Successful therapy is more than the absence of issues, but a life enriched with increased self-awareness, self-compassion and empowerment. I will help you recognize and build upon your strengths, challenge restrictive/limiting beliefs and behaviors, and forge new growth toward wholeness, confidence, and joy. Healing happens in relationships when there is meaningful and honest connections with others, but more importantly, within oneself.
