"Tell me more about you, and how I can help. My clients like that I listen and am interested in their lives. I am highly professional and work hard to meet my clients needs. My clients appreciate my honesty and genuine attitude. Before anything else, I believe we are all "simply human" with all that entails. I am a doctor but not one with the intention to "fix" people. My approach is to provide my clients a way to better understand "what is happening" and lead a more fulfilling life."

"Reaching out for help or support can make us feel vulnerable, and finding someone who you can trust enough to open up to about your deepest thoughts and feelings can feel impossible. What I can offer to you is a supportive environment, free of judgement and criticism, regardless of what it is you’re struggling with."

"Online therapy for women who are just trying to keep it all together. You've spent for as long as you can remember trying to balance it all, but it’s exhausting and you don’t think you can do it anymore. As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great life. You’re accomplished, driven, and dependable. But on the inside, you never feel good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short.

"The potential for self-improvement and positive growth starts with our willingness to open ourselves to new possibilities. Certain life events sometimes lead us to seek professional help and finding the right therapist you can establish a positive rapport can be challenging. One of the unique attributes that clients say about me is the warmth, gentleness and genuineness of our therapeutic process coupled with an inviting approach to wellness. I believe a significant core element of counseling is the relationship that you and I build as we navigate and explore the challenges that limit or prevent you from meeting your personal objectives."

"Does the thought of vulnerability frighten you? Is it keeping you from having the relationships you desire? If so, let's talk about it . Therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental environment that allows you to start creating space to allow healthy connections and attachments to develop and thrive. Emotional numbing and avoidance allow us to avoid pain but also serve to keep us disconnected from happiness, resulting in shame and isolation. If you have been feeling like something is missing from your life, this may be the cause. Engagement in therapy can be the remedy that allows you to reach your goals and live your best life."

"We all want to feel that we are in control, alive and balanced. The reality is we can get stuck, confused, and in need of help. Feelings of frustration, hurt, doubt, worry, sadness, self-blame, or loneliness can set in. In other words, we become “unhappy.” We want to feel that we have a choice. A choice that will make things better whether it is for ourselves, our relationship, or our children. "

"My psychotherapy sessions encourage transformation and provide an opportunity for growth through helping clients to increase self-awareness, developing healthy thought patterns, addressing and eliminating reactive behaviors, and exploring connection with self and the universe to reduce sense of emptiness and loneliness. I view psychotherapy as a healing process that needs to be built on trust, acceptance and deep understanding. Knowing what we need to change is an important step, however it is the deeper understanding and confrontation of our inner obstacles that bring about lasting change, continues growth and fulfillment.
