"I work with children, adolescents, and adults. Play therapy is my specialty and my passion. Children express their innermost thoughts, feelings, and needs through the playing process. Using this information, I help children work through their inner conflicts with confidence. Feedback from play therapy can be very helpful in assisting parents and educators to best meet a child's needs. I also work with adolescents and adults to discover their inner strengths and empower them to use those strengths. "

"Finding connection and support can be a challenge in today's world. Feeling heard and understood by your therapist is a critical component of mental health care.

"As a therapist, my goal is to provide clients with a safe, comfortable, and trusting atmosphere that will serve as the foundation for exploring the deepest and most intimate thoughts and feelings about life, relationships, and oneself.

I will listen non-judgmentally and join you as a companion on your journey to help you develop the skills necessary to meet your needs, improve the relationships in your life, and achieve personal growth."

"I specialize in psychological problems that are tied to relationship struggles - sex and money are two of the biggest struggles implicated in these cases, either as cause, consequence or something in between. These struggles are emotionally moving manifestations of the human need for connection and the deep pain felt when this connection is damaged or severed. I help individuals create satisfying relationships and understand that satisfying relationships are contingent on the ability to understand that going back and ‘reliving’ the past is useless when trying to improve the present relationship."

"When you or your teen are feeling overwhelmed and tired from endless worrying or negative thought cycles, you find yourself avoiding more, overthinking more, and trying to prevent or predict anything that can go wrong. You begin to feel hopeless, unsure of yourself, not good enough, and miserable. People tell you to "just relax" or that "there's nothing to worry about", but if it were that easy, you would have already done that. It seems like you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long. "

"People often face challenges that can hinder their ability to lead fulfilling, healthy, and authentic lifestyles.

"I see counseling as a process in which we come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life, and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I provide an atmosphere of openness and trust in which you may choose to examine and change non-functional patterns and behaviors. I believe that as people become personally responsible for interactions and behavior, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment."

"Providing you with support as you navigate through the difficult moments of your life is my focus.

The goal is to assist you in healing your hurt, discovering your hidden potential, and to promote change that grows from the inside out."

"I assist others in reaching their fullest potential. "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I change." -Carl Rogers. It takes a lot of bravery to open up to another person and share your inner thoughts. However, in the process of therapy, you learn about yourself, grow, and reach your personal goals."

"It can be scary and frustrating when you or your teen are feeling tired and overwhelmed by worry thoughts, sadness or emptiness, and stress. You find yourself avoiding things or people, sleeping, and overthinking more. You begin to feel hopeless or stuck and question if things will ever get better or if you are good enough. People have told you, "be happy", "calm down", "just do ___" and give you their list of suggestions, but if it were that simple you would have already done that. It seems like you have tried everything and nothing works. "

"In my practice, I enjoy helping families whose children are having difficulties in the schooling process. When a child is not doing well in school, there are a multitude of factors that may be getting in the way. I begin with an appropriate evaluation of the child and provide feedback to parents about what I believe is interfering with the child's ability to succeed. From there, I can provide individual intervention with the child and consultation with the parents. Also, it is often important to provide information to the school and have them assist in our plan."

"Therapy is about creating a safe environment for a client, both an actual comfortable "real space" and a place of trust in our hearts and heads.

I believe that a solid, trusting, and professional relationship is key to your success in facing your difficulties and changing your life."
