"Life often brings us many challenges that can steer us away from our authentic selves, happiness and fulfillment. I believe very strongly in using the mind body connection as a source of reflection and healing. My practice as a therapist and life coach is focused on helping individuals work through difficult life transitions, which may include professional or family changes, as well as navigating the world of dating and relationships. When mind, body and soul are in balance, one is able to live with ease and function at an optimum capacity."

"Helping people to feel better has always been my mission. No matter what the issue may be, I believe that there are choices and solutions to problems. Events happen in life, and then we have a choice in how we react to them, whether positive, neutral and negative. This is where I try to help people, in choosing their reactions while working through their feelings. Counseling is a discussion, and I try to guide people to make helpful solutions and to feel better about their lives. New understandings about your life and new behaviors can help you to feel better."

I use a practical and comprehensive approach, addressing each individual's issues within the context of the family, school, and community."

"For all of us life can be complex, demanding, and stressful. We struggle with challenges of work, family, and other obligations that compete for time and attention. Sometimes life becomes more than we can handle. Our histories can bog us down, keeping us locked in old, self-defeating patterns that interfere with relationships or our ability to move ahead. When life gets overwhelming, we feel trapped in anxiety, or depression. We can lose sight of our own inner resources. At times confusion can lead to self-blame, isolation, or despair that things will never improve. Mind, body, and spirit suffer."

"We all experience stress in our lives, but sometimes that stress is overwhelming and we have trouble coping. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be an incredibly effective tool to help manage anxiety, depression, and other stress-related difficulties. CBT focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in everyday life. As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, my approach is collaborative, individualized, and based on scientific evidence. "

"I am a strong proponent of health-oriented and positive psychology that emphasizes what is right with people rather than what is wrong with them. My counseling work is based on the integrative approach to psychotherapy that is best characterized as going beyond and across the confines of any single orientation. I draw from different theories to form a comprehensive view of all the complexities of human conditions and emotions. The reason for this is because no one theory has all the answers that could effectively work with every individual and situation."

"I specialize in working with adolescents. I walk with my clients outdoors in a park or on a trail.

I focus on a full range of issues including decreasing anxiety, improving social functioning, regulating emotions, and building healthy relationships."

"Fears, anxiety, and depression can be debilitating. I have the ability to listen warmly and compassionately to what you're saying even if you are feeling jumbled or confused. I create a safe space for you to be able to vent. Often having a person listen with understanding of what you might be experiencing can ease your discomfort. I can offer gentle guidance if you are at a crossroad, a turning point or are feeling challenged by others in your life. Relationships are the most important things in our lives, yet often, the most difficult. Better communication skills can help."

"Making the decision to help a child who is struggling academically, behaviorally, socially and/or emotionally may be the most important decision you make for your child. I see each child as a puzzle. Sometimes the pieces fit together perfectly and other times it is necessary to work really hard to find the right piece to complete the puzzle. I use a variety of techniques - play therapy, sand therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe that a child is part of a larger system, including parents, siblings, and schools. I strive to work with all aspects of a child's world."

"I believe in the innate goodness of people. Problems arise when we lack the ability to communicate what's really going on within or can't get past defenses to understand another person's feelings or experiences. Most people haven't been taught the skills to be safe listeners and so we grow up believing that others don't have capacity to understand us. I love bringing people closer by teaching them to cross the bridge into the world of others without losing themselves. I teach emotional safety by demonstrating emotional safety and believe breakdowns create opportunities for new breakthroughs."
