Together, in a safe and supportive environment we can face the challenges that are bringing you to seek therapy.

Early in my career as a healthcare professional, I became aware of the mind-body connection and its effect on our emotional well-being. I view counseling as a person centered, creative process of healing, wellness and self-discovery. I strive to help my clients identify and capitalize on their strengths and to quiet down the inner critic, in order to find their own voice and meaning. I respect cultural and spiritual aspects of my clients' worldview and their unique background. Perhaps you are feeling stuck, discouraged or depleted. You are having a hard time coping with life's challenges or struggling with relationships.

I approach you as a client, with the perspective that we will be working together as a "team" to identify what is holding you back from your goals in life. I help you explore all options regarding your issues, and ultimately, YOU will decide what the best path is to take in your life.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some wish to heal long-standing issues, while others seek to find ways to cope more effectively, improve their relationships or make better choices in their lives.

I treat a variety of issues ranging from anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse to specific children's disorders such as ADHD & Learning Disorders, School Phobia and Behavior and Social problems at home and in school. One of my specialties is Play Therapy for young children and part of my office is uniquely designed for that purpose with a "play town", puppets, games and art materials to help children express and work through their feelings, anxiety, fears and frustrations in a non-threatening and very child friendly enviornment. I work together with the parents and school to help the child.

I believe in the power of psychology to change people's lives. I have been successful in helping clients better appreciate and transform the energy of their emotions. They have become more hopeful to be able to solve their problems as they give up judgment and are freer to seek solutions with curiosity and motivation. Individuals with anxiety , depression, difficult life transitions, and chronic health issues have gained better coping skills and a more positive outlook toward their personal challenges.

Too often individuals & couples self-impose obstacles to their own happiness. Within a warm, caring atmosphere, I endeavor to help rid clients of these roadblocks--to get them unstuck from repetitive, unproductive behaviors and/or relational patterns so that they may move on to richer fuller lives. While nurturing & supportive, I am active & solution focused, concentrating on the present with an understanding of the past.

I work with individuals (14 or older) who are reflective, curious about themselves, and desire change. The therapeutic relationship is the fundamental factor in effective therapy and provides you with a safe, comfortable place to discuss issues and patterns in your life that are interfering with reaching your potential. My training has prepared me to help you work through problems and help you understand your emotional life, patterns and experiences from your formative years that impact on your life now; A better understanding of your emotional life will help you make meaningful changes toward finding happiness.

Are you are struggling with anxiety or depression, facing a major life crisis, or feeling overwhelmed by problems that are overtaking your serenity? Therapy can give you the tools to take control and make changes in your life and/or relationships. I will help you identify and understand the issues, help you to create and implement a plan and assist you in reaching your goals. I will respect that your life is a personal journey, and I will listen to your feelings to help you determine the path you want to take. The results will be empowering.

Making the decision to seek counseling can be an anxious time. It is important to select a good therapist that can help you work toward your goals. Therapy can be positive and rewarding, if you are committed to the process. It can give you a chance to explore thoughts and feelings regarding your relationships, family, professional life and overall happiness. Therapy can be active and solution-focused, or quiet and reflective. Most importantly it is always collaborative. I help clients work towards goals in a safe, nonjudgmental manner.

I commonly hear, "Why do I keep feeling anxious/depressed?"; "Why do I keep doing the same thing?" I help people at all stages of life figure out those answers and use what they learn about themselves. There is no lasting change without first understanding. Through individual and group therapies, I help people recognize their unique patterns. Through respectful conversation and observations, we will work toward identifying your healthy and unhealthy character traits. As you become a better observer of your existing patterns, you can be freer to live healthier and avoid recurrent pitfalls.
