In the 20+ years I've been a therapist, I've learned that no two situations are the same. Therefore, I don't profess to have all the answers, but I'm very good at finding answers. I value getting to know people and finding out what has worked and what isn't working and then finding answers together.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming, my goal as a therapist is to help you create and find ways to manage the stress, frustration, or anxiety you may be experiencing. By providing a nonjudgemental environment I believe we can work together to remove the barriers trauma has placed in your life.

Therapy is a unique experience aimed at helping clients understand their emotions as well as learning that our symptoms are telling us something. It is the collaborative relationship between therapist and client that allows each client to explore not only their symptoms but understand ones self, while obtaining valuable tools to deal with emotions, conflict, and interpersonal communication. In my office I offer a warm non-judgmental space for self exploration and growth.

Everyone experiences moments of challenge and struggle at some point in their lifetime. The first step could be hard in asking for help, but take comfort in knowing a caring and supportive therapist will hold your hand through it.

I believe that every individual has the potential to heal from past trauma and current situations to improve their quality of life and emotional wellbeing.

Therapy can give you an advantage. Emotional health is part of our livelihood and well being. When we spend the time to focus on our internal truth- we better understand our trauma and the barriers that come in between us, our goals, and our relationships. These barriers come in all forms- pain, anger, depression, anxiety, fear, complacency. So we will discuss what you are experiencing currently, and what has impacted you throughout your life.

As a practical, interactive, therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.

Life is full of challenges. We all face hard times, stress and struggles at some point during our lives. Unfortunately, we cannot change the past, but we can change our thoughts and feelings about what has happened to us and choose how to deal with it and the effect it will have on us in the future. I specialize in working with children, teens, adults, families and couples dealing with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, relationship problems and life transitions (marriage, divorce, becoming a parent, moving, becoming empty nesters, grief and loss, etc.).

Each one of us has a unique narrative that has been woven together by our life's experiences. I am committed to helping support you in giving a voice to the parts of yourself that have been silent and are ready for self expression. Working collaboratively, we will explore your goals by connecting through compassion and empathy, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, or culture. I hope to help encourage you to become authentically true to yourself in a safe, creative and non-judgmental environment. Therapy is learning to embrace all parts of yourself.
