"I believe that life can be difficult sometimes. We are not given a manual on navigating the complex tasks of life like raising children, managing job stress, or learning how to have a fulfilling relationship. I see counseling as a process where we can explore life's more pressing questions and address ways to create change. As a therapist, you will find I value being real and transparent so that our work together is honest, timely, and impactful. "

"Do you ever find yourself frustrated with your relationships and connections with others, especially people close to you like family and loved ones? Have you noticed that you keep dating the same type of person and you're ready to break the cycle?

Healing begins in relationship, and through this dynamic process of therapy based in the therapeutic connection, you too can find peace and happiness with yourself and others. "

"I help clients use their own internal resources to flourish – not just survive. I've worked in a number of clinical settings assisting clients with anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction. My private practice clients are frequently professionals who are looking for more fulfillment, ease, and satisfaction in their lives. In addition to assisting those for whom therapy may be familiar, I love working with individuals who have never tried therapy, and those who are looking for a fresh start."

"I believe that often the suffering that people describe is born from an unwillingness to be present in the moment or to experience the truth of their experience. The truth can make us feel anxious all of the time, make our moods difficult to tolerate, or make us feel uncomfortable during everyday life circumstances."

"Many of us feel caged and confused in this world. We don't know who we are or how we want to be. We feel insecure and lost. We feel alone and scared in rooms full of people. Disliking our bodies and minds, we chase after relief that leads to emptiness. Seeking safety and expectability, we attempt to control our emotional and physical environments. In these enclosures, we are separate from ourselves and others--angry, judgmental, shutdown or shut-out. Psychotherapy enables us to uncover and heal the wounds and traumas that imprison us, liberating our innate ability to thrive and connect."

"I help individuals and couples to become solid, true, and self loving in order to develop relationships that are whole & thriving. When we are able to heal from our relational wounds we stop relying on outside people or situations to determine our worth and emotions. I use to struggle with liking myself and found myself focused on pleasing others.Through my journey and through the relationships that I have created, forced, broke, and stretched I have discovered the most important element in relating to others. Self Love."
