Welcome! I am open and affirming to all adults. My office is physically challenged accessible, as I believe all should have equal opportunities. I practice Holistic Psychotherapy, helping you connect your past events to your present day behaviors, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping you turn your negative thoughts into positive ones, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, which helps you accept the present moment for what it is. Talk Therapy is also important to purge our feelings in a safe space, while learning strategies. I also offer Spiritual counseling for those struggling in the awakening process.

I have been treating families, couples, individuals and children for over 20 years. I enjoy working with families in transition, including divorce and blended families. I have experience in treating people with depression and anxiety as well.

It can feel overwhelming to find a therapist. These are particularly stressful times and you don't have to navigate it alone. We can all grow from the pain and challenges we face. Together we will work on identifying your goals and improving your quality of life. Therapy will be tailored to you. I look forward to being a part of your journey.

Congratulations on taking a step towards change and feeling better! I have had the honor of working with individuals, couples and families in residential and outpatient settings and have witnessed people change and reach unique and individualized goals. I use a variety of techniques such as experiential, CBT, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Gestalt and psychoeducational modalities. I use EMDR to help clients recover from traumatic, disturbing and shame-based memories. I help clients find the motivation to change their unsatisfying patterns by empowering them to identify, express and prioritize needs and to stay focused on their goals.

I am committed and passionate about my work in helping others reach their full potential. I am trained to work with couples, families and individuals. I have experience in helping couples work through issues of infidelity, betrayal, intimacy, and conflict resolution. I help couples identify their relationship identity through honest communication and vulnerability. I believe in the power of all relationships and how it affects the quality of our lives. When working with individuals I use a systemic lens, in which I see the individual in the context of their relationships, major life events, ethnicity, culture, religion & sexuality.

Would you like to improve your relationships? Your job? Or other life situations? I strive to help clients experience immediate relief from problems by shifting perspective and working on the development of new skills. Life transitions like a new relationship, loss, marriage, divorce or job change can be challenging and may require outside help. I provide an unconditionally accepting environment to help you explore solutions that lead to meaningful, long-term results.
