As a therapist I believe in Solution-Focused approaches that empowers the client to make lasting changes in their lives. Utilizing a Person-Centered approach allows for me to customize therapy to match each individual's goals within a compassionate and judgement free zone. I also incorporate Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy within some sessions to combat anxious and depressive thoughts. I have experience working with all different ages and specialize in: anxiety, depression, life transitions, anger management, health concerns, relationship difficulties and traumatic experiences.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

Are you struggling with overwhelming emotions? Have you experienced loss, trauma, or other challenges? I am here for you, to support you in overcoming the emotional pain of past or present experiences. I believe in you and your ability to take control of these all-consuming emotions.

Do you often feel responsible for everyone and everything? Accompanied by feelings of guilt and shame if you can’t do it all. Do thoughts of failure or not being good enough often cross your mind? It seems like you've tried everything, but nothing seems to work, at least not for long. It is likely that you have hidden your difficult feelings behind rigid emotional walls for years. It can be difficult to reach out to a therapist and share your vulnerable self. Therapeutic relationship is the largest factor in facilitating change, so I understand the importance of finding the right fit.

People reaching out for professional services want respect and relief. I honor both of these. I respect that each client who comes to see me is the expert on their life and situation. I also respect that they are trusting me with their story and concerns. Yet, clients also want some relief. That is why my approach builds on the existing strengths and assets that an individual, couple, or family brings into my office so that symptom relief is quick and long term change is realistic and sustainable.

I am dedicated to creating a non-judgmental and compassionate environment where clients can safely explore their behaviors, feelings, and thoughts. I believe in empowering clients to overcome obstacles, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and ultimately, lead a fulfilling life to the best of their abilities.

I believe growth happens at the intersection of awareness, education, and motivation/willingness to change. With a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect, I hope to provide a non-judgmental environment where you can feel a sense of honesty and accountability. My goal is to increase self-awareness to identify and challenge unwanted patterns that keep you stuck in the maze of your own emotions and self-doubt. I also believe it’s essential to look at the impacts of early attachment and family dynamics on your self-concept to see what influences have shaped the person you are today: the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Having experienced religious trauma myself, I find that there are so many others like me trying to make it through this journey carrying that trauma and abuse with them coupled with a sense of unworthiness and loneliness. Allowing those wounded parts to have a voice and providing comfort for those parts is extremely freeing and enables us to connect with our higher Self. In turn, it allows us to live out our lives enjoying this journey to the fullest. The method of Parts Therapy has been most effective for me, and I believe that it will help my clients reconnect with Self and give them the freedom that they have been longing for.

After working with individuals, couples, and families for over thirty years I have come to two conclusions. At the root of most problems is an unhealthy relationship. Secondly, most of us have developed unhealthy coping strategies to deal with the challenges. Our old ways of coping cause conflict in our most important relationships today. Together we will identify and understand these behaviors, learn new skills and uncover our authentic self. Only then we will achieve our goals. Change is possible!

My ideal client is an adult who is stuck in a negative pattern in their life and needs some help getting "unstuck." These negative patterns can show up as addictions, PTSD, unhappy relationships, depression, insomnia, abusive relationships and work problems, among others.

This includes helping clients find sobriety, making new and healthy connections, and dealing with the root causes of addiction.

Life is constantly changing & pressing on us, leading to stress, and calling for our growth. Rather than looking for acceptance or healing from others, it's important to look inward. This understanding of who we are & how we operate eases stress & peaceful life transitions. Science verifies that changing our thinking, feeling & behaviors improves the quality of our life. I specialize in connecting people deeply with themselves, decreasing suffering from anxiety, depression, family/relational conflict, grief, chronic pain, panic attacks, low self-esteem and work/school burdens.

It's hard to describe to others what it's truly like living with anxiety or depression. So you go about your day, keeping it a secret while silently suffering. It's hard work to look like you have it all together all the time. If they only really knew what you were going through. And, yet, your experience, well, it's hard to put into words. It's as if your anxiety or depression is in charge. They dictate how you relate to life, your relationships, and yourself. Let's face it: you've tried everything to feel better on your own without asking for help. However, your DIY mentality just isn't working this time.
