Happy New Year! We are the product of all of our collective experiences - the great, the difficult, and the parts of ourselves we like to shy away from. All of our experiences, especially those during our developmental years, shape our sense of self, the lens in which we view the world, and our place in it. My practice is rooted in social work principles and aspects of positive psychology to help guide you on the healing of the entire individual. I am currently accepting clients for night/weekend sessions.

I know we are in a time of uncertainty and we don't know what the future holds, but I am here for you. I would like you to imagine a state of mindful, empowered, living because it can be done. Whether you are currently experiencing anxiety and stress or have been struggling with depression, there is help. Having over twenty years of experience in the mental health field and over eight in private practice, I've come to understand the obstacles and challenges a person may face in therapy. Each journey is unique and I am privileged to be a guide for you to discover and find what you are looking for in life.

Are your feelings often invalidated by the people you love? Are you frustrated with dismissive responses, feeling disregarded, unseen, and unheard? Are you aiming to make everyone happy but feel your best efforts fall short of their expectations? Do you feel you need to be doing more despite achieving what others may deem as success? If you struggle with putting others' needs before your own, communicating your feelings and emotions authentically, and constantly feeling like you're not doing enough - you're in the right place.

Hey, life can be tough. Some events are out of our control and sometimes we tend to get in our own way. Often negative events in our childhood shape our adult responses leading to anxiety, depression, avoidance, and panic. Whatever the experience you’re here because you’re ready to overcome it. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

I see therapy as an interactive journey toward achieving set goals. I believe in providing support for individuals, children, couples, and families through their journeys as a co-pilot. We a systems approach, to work together to recognize patterns in thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships that have developed through your unique experiences. Providing support with issues of grief, depression, anxiety, physical and emotional abuse, divorce, parenting, adjustment, spiritual, and relationship concerns is a priority.

At ‘Anew Life' we understand that life is challenging and full of unexpected events for any and everyone. These events can leave deep emotional scars, painful memories, and setbacks if not appropriately addressed. The emotions can cause a person to act, live, and think in ways they usually wouldn’t. Anew Life wants to help that individual, couple, or family set a fresh course for their life. To achieve this goal, we continuously make it our priority to provide a therapeutic environment that is centered around growth, clarity, and a new beginning. After all, we all have needed a fresh start in our lives at one time or another!

With over a decade of experience working with adults and families, I understand how life’s stressors create mental and emotional chaos which can lead to anxiety, depression, and self-defeating behaviors. Let’s work together and turn your stressors into strengths!
