If you have a relationship that you're interested in improving, I'm here to help. We learn a lot about ourselves from the relationships and friendships that we choose.

I believe in using a tailored approach to assist with developing clear, attainable treatment goals instead of adopting one methodology for all individuals and issues.

Are you looking for somebody to talk to about challenging transitions, life events or relationships? I am an EMDR trained, holistic minded psychotherapist and Reiki Practitioner with many years of experience in both individual and family therapy. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and comfortable space for my clients to explore how they can achieve their desired goals and lead a more fulfilling life.

I can't do this anymore. I need direction. I’m lost. I can't move forward. I hear you. Are fear and anxiety preventing you from achieving your goals? Are you thinking about new career opportunities and growth possibilities? While we desire to become the best possible version of ourselves, obstacles either self-made or external can hinder our growth. Together, we would co-create solutions to help you move forward.

Therapy is a place where we can build insight into ourselves and learn to cope with the stressors that life lays in our path. My approach is centered on partnering with clients to build on their strengths, reflect on patterns and relationship dynamics that may be harmful, heal from traumatic experiences, and strengthen their communication with loved ones.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. ~Maya Angelou Too often we walk through life fearful of telling our real story. But when we tell our story we free ourselves from unhealed wounds. Telling our story helps us to find our strength and recognize our resiliency through difficult times. Emotional well-being is one of the most important parts of an individual's life. Unfortunately it is a part of life that we often forget to take care of. We all deserve to enjoy the lives we live. You are worthy of a life you can enjoy!

Life is not easy, it is full of joy, pain, sadness, obstacles, and successes and I believe everyone has a story to tell. You may be looking for relief from life’s daily stressors, anxiety, or trauma. Please know there is hope. Together, through counseling, you can begin to feel better in times like these as well as other transitions in your life so you can begin a fresh path.

My theoretical approach varies deriving from several psychoanalytic schools of thought as well as cognitive-behavioral theory. Cognitive work assists clients in finding adaptive ways of perceiving themselves, others, and circumstances. Behavioral interventions involve the teaching of skills needed for effective coping, communication, self-care, and symptom relief. I aim to create a safe professional environment to render individualized care to my clients and their specific needs.

Greetings! I am a licensed clinical social worker, and an EMDR trained therapist. I focus on the here and now while working with individuals to understand how past experiences have influenced the present. I work with individuals and practice using a variety of contemporary approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, meditation, and mindfulness. I create a safe and nonjudgmental space for patients to explore and process their feelings while sharing experiences. I offer a free, brief consultation to answer any questions, learn about your needs, and see if we will be a good fit.

I believe in the potential of human beings to grow, change, experience, seek and find meaning in their lives. I believe in existential, humanistic and person-centered perspectives where respect and dignity of, and for individuals are paramount to their therapeutic process. Growth and change are processes that occur as a result of a combination of one's life experiences; however, our daily life experiences often do not afford the time or space for such self-exploration of one's feelings, thoughts or interpersonal connections and relationships. Therapy is therefore a person-driven process which allows for self-examination and change.
