I recognize the courage it takes to acknowledge when life's challenges become too difficult to navigate alone, which is why I am grateful to embark on a journey of self-enquiry with you.

In my work with clients, I create a safe and nurturing environment for you to find your way back to a sense of wholeness and fulfillment in life. It's not about fixing what's broken or changing your identity but helping you remember what it's like to feel in balance and connected and supporting you in letting go of what's blocking you from finding that core, creative and joyful self within. My specialities for treatment include: addiction, trauma, grief processing, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, stress management and codependency.

I work with adults, children, couples, and families confronting a wide range of mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational challenges. This can range from major symptom and conflict management to a desire for greater meaning, balance, self-love, and mental clarity. Some goals we build toward together might include: self-understanding and a sense of wholeness; helping you become your own best ally in health and life; healthy relationships and support systems; self-esteem; identifying and communicating needs and feelings effectively; managing or improving symptoms; whatever else is important to you.

The goal of my practice is to help individuals and families navigate life's stressors using mindfulness and acceptance-based treatments that are supported by research. Whether it is adjusting to a new phase in life, coping with a major health issue, or feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, I aim to help my clients gain a deeper understanding of their struggles, respond to their experience with compassion, and reduce unhelpful ways of reacting so that they can navigate whatever challenges arise.

In times of struggle or uncertainty, having the support and trust in someone you can talk to is an invaluable experience. In my practice, I aim to help clients identify and break free from their limiting beliefs and unhealthy patterns so they can live an authentic and fulfilling life. My experience as a licensed psychotherapist has led me to understand the value of mutual trust and a collaborative, client-centered approach. I provide a compassionate and empathetic atmosphere where we will work together to form a unique treatment plan to address your specific goals in coming to therapy.

The word psychotherapy means “healing of the soul.” If you’re like most, your soul has been wounded. Sometimes it’s nobody’s fault. Sometimes it is. You may have been wounded recently; or, more likely, when you were younger. And so, as a result, you’ve adopted beliefs, created stories, and implemented strategies to protect your soul from further wounding. But if you’re reading this, those beliefs, stories, and strategies are not working anymore.

Do you get stuck in cycles of negative thinking? Does it sometimes feel like your mind is working against you? Do you find it tough to turn off damaging self-talk and self-blame?

We all struggle with difficulties from time to time. Unresolved issues can cause us to act and react in ways that lead to unhappiness in our lives and our relationships.

Are you pursuing higher emotional and mental health, better personal or professional relationships, or relief from anxiety or depression?

I work with clients mainly using a cognitive behavioral perspective but I also do interpersonal therapy and E.M.D.R. I help my clients work towards the goal of resolving their problems and improving their lives in a meaningful way. Many of my clients suffer from depression and anxiety. I enjoy working with clients needing to cope with grief, loss, and life transitions. I help them to regain their stability and reach a more optimum state of mental health.

Psychologically speaking, why do we do what we do? Where are we coming from . . . what are we moving toward . . . and how are we proceeding? Do our impulses, our actions or reactions, our habits, our thoughts, judgments, interpretations, or even our intentions support or lead to what we imagine to be our "happiness?" I work with individuals, couples, and families in short- and long-term psychotherapy. Some clients prefer brief "solution-focused" therapy to help them with specific short-term issues, while others want to work more deeply toward longer-lasting growth and transformation.
