Individual's who have difficulty with mental health problems are particularly appropriate for treatment.

Our most vulnerable and heart breaking experiences we face in life, shape us in helping us become our better and most authentic self. No matter what we go through with the help, motivation and acceptance we have to create our new path and outlook. I believe that cycles that are not broken are wheels that do not allow us to overcome the fear and anxiety in finding what we truly deserve.The best healing is looking back and laughing at what we thought was the most challenging. The end goal will be to help you better understand your physical, social, spiritual and wellbeing of your true self.

I feel very strongly that by entering into a therapeutic relationship with a skilled therapist, we can uncover some of those past experiences and identify how they have contributed to our current life circumstances.

Finding a therapist that you connect with is so important and personal; so much so that our relationship is the foundation for success in treatment. Helping people has always been my passion and I believe people have the internal tools necessary for positive change. I have worked with many different people throughout the years. These people have sought out therapy for many reasons. Life happens and challenges come up. Maybe it's older issues from childhood that have an impact now. Maybe it's brand new grieving the loss of a relationship. Maybe there is a feeling of being stuck.

Empathy has no script. There is no right or wrong way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of “You’re Not Alone.” In my experience as a therapist, I have assisted individuals with challenges such as, depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use and schizophrenia. I have extensive experience working with youth and adult offenders in our judicial system.

It is my belief that we generally want to feel safe, secure and connected to ourselves, our families/friends and our communities. Obstacles to doing so can include circumstances outside of our control and also the results of our own learned patterns and behaviors. Therapy is an integral part of healing past trauma, validating one's thoughts/feelings/emotions, identifying dysfunctional patterns of engagement and learning new skills to cope. Through work with a therapist, it is possible to shape a life and relationships that include confidence, calm and presence that is so often missed in the busyness of society today.
