I offer a compassionate and understanding approach to therapy and believe a strong therapeutic relationship is key to moving forward with change and progress. A client needs to feel safe and supported so they can tell their story, untangle their emotions and find a new direction to move forward. This approach is effective to help a client with whatever their issues may be. It is based on positive psychology, building on strengths and goal setting to create insight and forward movement.

I wonder how much of what is weighing you down, is not yours to carry? Often times in life we bear the weight of other peoples choices, mistakes, and rigidity. I am here to help you release the things that do not belong to you so that you can balance the things in life that do belong to you. The best part? You already posses everything that you need to make the changes that you would like to see happen in your life. Let's get to work so I can show you how!

There are times in life when we all need others. My work is my passion and I’m here to help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience providing clinical therapy.

Headspace, where your brain is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be ignited. We believe in creating calm in the midst of any storm. Life is full of twists and turns and sometimes it is difficult to navigate. Giving yourself the time you need to overcome challenges is essential to your growth, and we strive to assist in that process. We believe everyone should feel loved and accepted no matter the race, age, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation. We hope to provide a safe space where you can not only explore your journey and self, but realize you are far greater than you know.

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.

Are you having trouble figuring out what's making you you feel unhappy, unfulfilled, anxious, depressed or stuck in a rut? Or maybe you have an idea but don't know what steps to take in order to feel better? I take a proactive role in therapy, and work to help the individuals and couples I see to better understand themselves and their patterns that may be creating unnecessary dysfunction in their lives. I also take action though, and find concrete ways for my clients to lead happier and more fulfilling lives. Therapy can be a difficult first step but once a connection is formed between therapist and client, true healing can happen.

Live Free represents our mission statement. It can be difficult to continue daily activities when we constantly worry about the future, dwell on our past and struggle with managing current stressors. Our passion in life is to help others live their life by having more control of one's thoughts, feelings, and physical well-being. We do this by providing support and using techniques such as EMDR, DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

Sometimes life becomes overwhelming due to trauma, increased anxiety and depressive symptoms leading us to believe there is something inherently wrong with us. We sometimes forget that we have the power to change our situation and circumstances. My goal is not to just treat the symptoms, but rather uncover the underlying root cause that triggered these symptoms and empower you to move forward in a positive direction. Treating the symptoms alone may cause the issue to present itself again.

I believe that you have the power to choose a life that is fulfilling in light of the physical, mental, or emotional challenges that you are currently facing. I invite you to explore meaningful ways to transform your life and develop new habits to produce healing and wellness.
