Therapy is a journey of trust, connection, openness, willingness, challenges, and growth. Together, change can occur to achieve your goals through the development of new perspectives, coping skills, and acceptances to manage what has kept you from reaching your potential and fulfillment.

Anxiety and stress impact all of us. When things in your life or your child or teen's life feel unmanageable, it's time to get some professional support. It can feel vulnerable reaching out but typically people feel better once they take the first step.

We all hope to live a happy and fulfilling life, yet it's not uncommon for any of us to feel as if our relationships, self-image and daily existence are not where we'd hoped they would be. Therapy can be a transformative process which enables you to positively change your understanding of yourself, how you handle life stressors and increase your capacity to find pleasure and enjoyment in life. My focus is to help people build on their own strengths while developing tools to change existing patterns and experience life in a new way.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are suffering from anxiety, depression or PTSD? Are you ready to make a positive change in your life? What change would you like to see happen in yourself and your life and how would you feel different as a result? Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and counseling can help. We can discover long-standing patterns that may be holding you back from experiencing a more meaningful life. Whether you are looking for extra support and guidance through a difficult situation or you are just ready to move to a new direction in life, I look forward to working with you.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples to help them meet the goals they set to improve personal and relationship satisfaction.

My role is to increase your self-awareness to identify what you value, what is currently working in your life, and what is getting in the way of you living the life you want to live. I view therapy as a partnership wherein my role is to help you to move towards the life you want to live based on your values. I will also teach you skills based on ACT, DBT, and CBT.
