It’s excellent you have decided to take your first steps in taking control of your mental and emotional health. I believe the people with whom I work with in therapy are some of the healthiest and goal oriented individuals I know. My job is to offer the tools for them to succeed.

Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed, or unhappy? My job is to help you find the strength and serenity to thrive. I have years of experience helping people overcome problems in stressful careers or difficult relationships. My patients are seeking help with relationships, jobs, important choices or unexpected events.

In meeting you exactly where you are with empathy and intuition, we will work towards exploring what is at the core of your struggle and develop the elements and tools needed to meet these needs and goals.

Deciding to enter therapy is an act of courage. When people feel overwhelmed, or if they realize they're caught in a rut they can't get out of, therapy can make a difference when nothing else has worked. I help my patients recognize previously-unknown obstacles and long-standing patterns that get in the way of achieving their goals. In their work with me, my patients expand their capacity to see options in various areas of their lives, and so make changes that improve and enhance the quality of their lives. I work with adults of all backgrounds, and bring compassion and respect for a person's suffering to the work I do.

Are you looking to improve relationships in your life? Are you looking to achieve your personal and career goals? Are you repeating old patterns causing you to feel anxious or depressed? We are all striving for happiness in our lives including love, success and companionship. At times we need some help.

In a supportive alliance, I will foster a deeper understanding of these dynamics.

Our beliefs and how we see the world are influenced by things we don’t get to choose, like our families or the circumstances we’re born into.

We often think of a relationship as a noun, something we are "in" or "have"... In reality a relationship is a verb, an action, something we do. We communicate, we share, we listen, we give, we understand, have common interests, and separate supported goals. But when we stop interacting, we lose a sense of connectedness. We often stop communicating, we don't listen or hear each other, and overlook the importance of spending time together. When this happens our relationship starts to deteriorate. We feel different.
