As a therapist with 12 years of experience, I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings and help my clients to develop the skills and insight needed to lead a fulfilling life. If you have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, or relationship issues, and are struggling to find happiness, let's work together to uncover your strengths and abilities to overcome these challenges.

Let today be the day you reach out for help. No problem is too big or too small to work on if it's causing you distress. I have success working with clients that are anxious, losing sleep, worrying, feeling depressed, grieving, over thinking, struggling in their relationships and using substances, food, shopping or other unhealthy ways to cope. It's so easy to slip into bad habits, especially if we don't know healthier ways to manage life's stressors . Many of us have been told to "just try harder", or to "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps" and ultimately feel defeated when these strategies don't work.

I have extensive experience treating a variety of issues such as low self confidence/esteem, unresolved trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression and helping resolve the unresolved.

Often times people come to therapy due to feeling excessive stress at work, at home, or in their relationships. They find the pressures of every day life have exceeded their abilities, overwhelmed their senses, and left them with an inability to cope. They are often having problems going to school, completing tasks, getting along with others at work, and finding activities enjoyable resulting in low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or other symptoms. Families often report not being able to get along or feeling overwhelmed with parenting a child that is having behavioral problems. They know they need to make a change.

I specialize in Sex & Porn addiction believe that everyone is entitled to have his or her own unique experience in therapy and that a strong individualized therapeutic relationship is central to the healing process.

I utilize EMDR to reduce the thoughts that motivate unhealthy behaviors and decrease distressing symptoms.

I believe that an atmosphere of trust, compassion, and empathy is at the core of any healing process. Within this context, I provide guidance in uncovering patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that lie at the root of present day difficulties. Often, issues from the past, continue to have a direct effect on current feelings and circumstances. For others, the primary reason for seeking counseling may be related to a major life change or transition.

People come from all walks of life, no two are the same. With each unique challenge, there is a unique individual striving for change. Trauma and depression can significantly alter an individual's life leaving one feeling completely isolated and confused. My job is to encourage and provide a non-judgmental environment to facilitate healing and positive change.
