"I work with a wide range of clientele including individuals, couples, families and adolescents. In a nurturing and safe therapeutic environment, I work in collaboration with clients on the journey to self discovery, healing past traumas and removing the blocks to invite new space for growth and greater sense of fulfillment in life. In addition to my specialization in sex therapy, I work with individuals with depression, anxiety and PTSD."

"Most people spend their entire lives trying to go under, over, or around pain, only to find themselves repeating patterns of behaving that leave them hurting. My aim is to be an ally for you, indeed, WITH you through the pain, helping you uncover the areas where you have been hurt, discover the lessons to be learned from the wounds, and then discard the hurt feelings, leaving you free."

"Don't be afraid anymore" - "The true voyage of discovery is not a journey to new places; it is learning to see with new eyes – Proust" I am an LMFT and CADC II using cognitive behavior techniques (thoughts, moods, behaviors, faulty core beliefs) in my client centered practice. I believe that change is not something to fear but something to embrace. I work with life transitions from change including, relationships, the stages of life and addictions and the anxiety, depression, trauma that often accompanies addictions and transitions/changes."

"I have worked with people with wide ranging mental health challenges (Anxiety, Depression, Adjustment Disorders, Psychosis, PTSD, and many more) and I have found that all are unique and special. I believe it is important to treat each case as unique and I approach every client with an open heart and mind. Regardless of your challenge, you are special and deserve the best treatment possible. Therefore, my ideal client is not based on a particular diagnosis, but rather, the willingness of each person to think of me as a facilitator in helping them reach their goals."

"I would like to shatter the misconception that therapy is only for people with severe psychiatric issues. Talk therapy is for everyone. Everybody has moments when they need a support system to deal with problems, but not everybody has a support system to turn to. It can be difficult to talk to friends or family about issues as they tend to make comments such as "I told you so" or "You shouldn't have done that." Such comments do not provide support during the times when it is needed most."

"Making the decision to begin the therapeutic process can be difficult, and I commend you for taking such a big step towards positive growth and change. I am passionate about working with individuals who are ready and committed to making positive changes in their life, whether that be alleviating symptoms that are making daily functioning difficult, or to engage in self-exploration and personal growth. My goal as a therapist is to create a warm, non-judgmental space for you to make those positive changes with a supportive person by your side."

"We all have times where we can use a little help with challenges in our lives. "How you look at it is pretty much how you'll see it." ~ Rasheed Ogunlaru"

"Many times humans hear what is being said to them, but they seldom listen to the information. I take pride in my ability to both listen and hear what you share with me. I believe attuning with my clients is important and helps foster a healthy relationship in a safe space. It does not stop at words, I find that mindfulness connects your words to what your body is trying to communicate as well. Through my work with clients, I have seen clients grow, overcome challenges, and break through walls of anxiety, anger, resentment, and stagnation. "

"Therapy is a place for growth, exploration, finding clarity, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable in a safe and welcoming environment. I provide this space and help to facilitate that change by empowering clients to conquer fears, create happiness and find a greater sense of fulfillment in their lives and relationships. I help individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, life stressors and transitions, parenting, trauma, and relationship issues. "

"I see you. I see the darkness you're sitting in; the pain and shame of the dark and scary thoughts that feel unlimited and overwhelming. I see you pulling away from the life you had planned and wanted so desperately. I see you hesitating to share these feelings with anyone out of the fear of embarrassment and ridicule. I see you in pain, but I also see your potential for joy and fulfillment. I see your potential for growth and change. "

"Therapy (which comes from the Greek word "to change"), is a very brave and personal endeavor that an individual and/or family undertakes to gain insight into their emotional state, decisions that have been made or to understand behavior. I have a great deal of experience working with families in crisis, children and adolescents with special education needs, adults and parents that are seeking support to parent a difficult and/or challenging child. In addition, I utilize a very supportive, nurturing yet directive approach in my therapeutic process."
