I believe that change happens when individuals develop an understanding of the patterns that are limiting their growth, relationships, and life decisions. So many times, we get stuck in a rut of blaming others and/or developing resentment toward people and situations. When we truly learn that the only person we can control is oneself, it is freeing and opens the door to focusing on real change and growth. As a therapist who specializes in trauma, I understand the impact that abuse, manipulation, and control have on our view of ourselves and of the world around us.

Ever feel like life is not going how you expected it to? We often have expectations of how we should be feeling or what our life should be like, and our reality doesn’t always match up. This can result in uncomfortable feelings like anxiety, sadness, disappointment, or stress. While these feelings may not be comfortable, they are a part of our lives. Whether you have been feeling this way for a while or just recently, the fact that you are reading this probably means that you have decided to seek help.

Our lives are filled with relationships. We have an inherent desire to connect, build, and belong in relationships with other people. At the same time, relationships come with their own unique challenges, sometimes even exposing us to circumstances beyond our control. This may cause us to feel anxious or overwhelmed. Sometimes these challenges are easy to overcome. But what about the times when you may not know what to do? Perhaps it could cause so much distress that you may struggle just to get through the day. Or maybe feel the need to isolate or push people away, so you don’t have to deal with relationships or people at all

Congratulations, you have made the first and most important step in helping yourself reach your goals. I believe psychotherapy is truly a process, one which the therapist can help guide a client to make the changes they need for positive change. My 15+ years of experience working with teens, young adults, adults and families allows for me to treat the whole person and not just the symptoms. As all clients have differing needs, it is crucial for you to find the right therapist, the one with whom you feel a comfort and who might best help you succeed.

Hello, I am a licensed clinician in the treatment of adults and adolescents. I find that regardless of the reasons a client seeks treatment, the most effective way of bringing healing relief is a comfortable and respectful relationship. My clients have described me as light-hearted, professional, and caring. A decision to enter into therapy is deciding to take a first step toward an improved quality of life. I try to keep this idea in the forefront with my clients when we work together to create specialized treatment plans toward achieving their goals.

I help my clients find peace of mind, gain insight, and be more present and grounded in their life to attain their goals and life purpose. I offer a therapeutic environment where clients learn to relax, feel safe, and then peel off the layers of a problem to become aware of the answers each client seeks. My specialties include stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, women's issues, academic problems, and chronic/health concerns. Together, we will examine how your thoughts, feelings, behaviors/actions, bodily sensations, and internal images affect the way you respond to others and within yourself (e.g., inner voice).
