I work with Individuals, Couples and Families who can sometimes feel "stuck" not heard or unhappy. I believe that my clients are the experts and my goal is to guide them in understanding the "why," "how," and "what's next." I believe that even in our darkest times we all have strengths that can help us achieve the goals we want within our relationships with ourselves and the others in our life and my role in the therapeutic process is to guide you towards those strengths so together we can bring back into light they deserve. I like to go at my client(s) pace so to not push or create unattainable expectations.

Tired of feeling anxious, on edge, overwhelmed and worrying all the time? Wish you could talk to someone that actually knows what you're going through? Life is hard enough, but when you're overwhelmed, it can feel unbearable. It can seem like each day is a race of to-do lists. And if you're like most people, prioritizing your mental health probably hasn't been at the top of the list. I help people learn to prioritize themselves and their needs one session at a time. We can discuss what has happened to you in the past, or we can focus on dealing with what is happening for you right now.
