You may find that life is not how you imagined, or how you would like it to be. Often when we have experienced difficulties in our lives, they stick around and make it hard for us to move on, whether in relationship, jobs, or in our emotional well-being. As a therapist, I offer an accepting and non-judgmental setting where, together, we can work to address depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, communication difficulties, job performance, and any other part of your life where you want improvement. I will help you with achieving the quality of life that you desire and deserve.

If you are suffering from emotional pain or relationship problems in any area of your life, I can help you. You may feel stuck and out of options, but you don't have to live with your pain for the rest of your life. As a highly trained therapist with many years of experience, I will create a safe, private and comfortable environment where a meaningful and effective therapeutic process can develop. Together we will explore the causes of your pain and work toward not only relief of pain, but greater happiness and fulfillment in your life.

Therapy is simply a tool to utilize to find a path to a healthier, more stable future. We cannot navigate our future without understanding the impact of our past. We cannot adjust our behaviors without delving into our inner thoughts. My compassion and down-to-earth style of communication, accompanied by my emphasis on accountability and self-motivation, create for a comforting yet effective method of therapy. I provide adult individual therapy. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, dual diagnoses, trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault, substance abuse, and grief/loss.

Assisting with achieving the impossible and miracles can happen!

I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

You have been sitting with your thoughts and seem to recycle your memories. You are excellent at suppressing your hurt and stay busy with work and life as a distraction. You no longer connect with others the way you used to and keep friends and family at a distance. The Pandemic may have increased your anxiety and depression and you are uncertain where to begin. Your worry and fear come out as: anger, sadness and controlling behaviors, due to questioning your worth and self esteem. Will I ever feel truly happy? Will I feel truly loved? Will I find my life path and the career that makes my soul soar? Will I learn to forgive?

Worry, stress, depression and anxiety are part of a vicious cycle that are bad for your health and happiness. To break this toxic loop, one can learn to identify the source and nature of their psychological pain. These emotional struggles, can intensify overtime and impact people’s relationships, school and work life leading to unhealthy habits and isolation. I am committed in working together as a team to help you build a better life, learn new skills to help you improve your overall quality of life in a safe and nonjudgmental space.

Mistakes don't make you a bad person. They make you human. Hurt and pain are real, but they have no right to immobilize you.

So...... You are considering making a lifestyle change? Let me ask you a question: If you were to find yourself on the bank of a refreshing pond; secluded, picturesque and inviting..... Would you only walk around the edges? Would you enthusiastically remove your shoes and allow yourself to wade-in? Looking around with no other is sight, would you take the opportunity to disrobe and immerse yourself in the water? Why do I ask? Simply because expansion is all about "getting wet," metaphorically. If you are a "walk-around the edge of the pond" type of soul, well then, look elsewhere. I expect my clients to arrive already wet!

These things come from having greater self-possession, which is the ability to have a stronger sense of self and be able to fully know and express your truth.

People develop conscious and subconscious strategies of getting through difficult periods of their lives.
