If you are reading this you are most likely experiencing hardship in your life which can be tricky to navigate. We all want to believe in our ability to accomplish our goals and witness our dreams come to fruition. You may be suffering from distress and dysfunction that doesn't seem to go away no matter how hard you work. There is hope!

My patients often have attained success in some elements of their lives, and struggling with other. They wish to reach the feeling that they are successfully utilizing their potential. Regardless of externally observed levels of success, these patient are besieged by feeling that something is lacking. They wish to reach the internal feeling of success, calm and being content. Some of these feelings are related to self-doubt, self-criticism and, or remnants of coping mechanism that were established at young age to deal with shame, pain, or abandonment (real or imagined). This group is to help you dedicate more energy to life.

It is my belief if you are not where you want to be in some aspect of your life that you have complete control to change "something" in order to improve where currently are and to "feel better and be better" both mentally and physically. I have spent the past eighteen years working in a variety of setting with a variety of clients helping people do just that "be better." The road to this will look very different from person to person, but the end result is the same "positive change."

CHANGE! GROWTH! HEALING! It takes courage to begin a journey of personal growth. I believe that we are all capable of change, growth and healing. I support my clients by creating a safe space that is accepting and empowers them to take that first step. Therapy provides the opportunity for self-exploration and self-discovery. Our past and present experiences impact our belief system and contribute to how we view our life and its opportunities. TOGETHER we will work to create a plan for your desired change.

I have a passion for helping clients through difficult life circumstances and transitions. Helping clients improve their health and well-being is my one of my greatest joys and the reason I became a therapist. I have over 20 years experience helping clients with mood disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma and problematic anger.

Many people do not realize that when life gets hard, it is a sign of strength to reach out for help. In my 20+ years of counseling couples, families, parents, and individuals, I have provided my clients with a safe environment to restore themselves and rediscover their strengths. I believe a primary focus of therapy is to create a supportive relationship with my clients to help them discover what is keeping them stuck, and help them move forward in achieving their goals.

Are you ready? I know you have the ability. Are you ready to start? I know you want to have a meaningful life. Are you ready to lead the life you want to live? I know you struggle with unwanted thoughts and feelings. Are you ready to stop struggling with them? I know you have made every attempt to solve these problems on your own. Are you ready to meet with someone who will not judge, criticize or minimize problems? Are you ready to begin? All it takes is clicking the button. Will you?

My ideal client is might be having relationships issues with the people in their lives. This could be their friendships, romantic relationship(s) ,their children or maybe even a coworker at work. They are seeking help with stress and balancing everyone in their lives while trying to make time for themselves. My ideal client might also be having identity issues trying to discover who they are or what they like. They are motivated to work and see the value of taking care of their mental health.

I actively work with children, adolescents and emerging adults. In sessions, I draw from a variety of techniques with a patient-centered approach, including: cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, and acceptance commitment therapy. My passion for helping people find their true potential is fueled in my sessions. Uniquely, I am able to achieve this with my clients by taking a holistic approach through mindfulness and self-compassion with each patient.

Are you haunted by thoughts of living an inauthentic and meaningless life disconnected from your true self? Do past events intrude on the present, preventing you from moving forward, impairing your ability to have fulfilling relationships and eroding your self-esteem? Does the happy future you once envisioned feels like a distant memory? In the wake of this onslaught, you may feel as though you are drowning in a sea of despair, which you cannot escape. Take heart, although life’s challenges can feel insurmountable, struggling through them can promote growth in ways that ultimately make you wiser and your life more fulfilling.

Do you understand how a wound heals? Think about it. First, the pain needs to be acknowledged. Then it needs to be tended to and stabilized. Only then, can the real work of healing from within begin. I believe in the significance of this understanding because, no matter what pains life may offer, we all possess an innate capacity to acknowledge, grow, and inspire change in our lives. We also need someone who is on our side, willing and committed to providing the conditions needed to feel safe and comfortable to express and explore ourselves and our struggles. Only then can we learn to lean into change.

These are challenging times. If you're tired of feeling stressed out, anxious, or panicky as a way of life...if you're not getting the joy you want from life and feeling more unhappy or feeling like you're not enough...if you're acting out on your frustrations instead of getting clarity, then I'm really glad you're reaching out. I am an inclusive progressive therapist & an ally. I want therapy to be a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to work individually or within your couple relationship. I'm going to listen, help you explore, and also teach you new things to help you. Let's build a future that contains more of what you want!

Do you believe you have reached too far a depth to come up from? Have you found yourself worrying over how you could reach "that good place" you used to be in? Think about this: EVERY person has felt similar feelings at one point in time. I seek to work with patients who struggle with mood disorders, grief and issues related to religion or spirituality. From the first time we meet together, you can expect us to give full attention to who YOU are and what YOU want. I believe that focusing on your goals and collaborating inside our therapeutic relationship is the greatest of our strengths as therapist and client.
