Life can be full of challenges, but also rewards. Therapy can help us to have better relationships with our family and friends, as well as those in our extended communities. Those are extensions of our relationships with ourselves. I would like to help you build those relationships by providing a safe and welcoming non-judgmental environment. Together we will design and build the mental and emotional structure where you can live your happiest life that is mindful and peaceful.

A. Are you in a committed, loving relationship but struggling with misunderstandings and challenges getting needs met? Are you adjusting to living together and not knowing how to stop some recurring arguments? B. Have you been ready for a committed relationship, but you have not been able to find the right partner ? Your past. relationships are a series of dating the same type of person but with someone new every time. You dive into work because you know well how to succeed there and use it to avoid feeling the pain of your failed relationships. I help singles and couples achieve successful relationships with 5 simple steps:

My approach to working with individuals is meeting each person where they are and identifying goals. I do believe that change can occur with a good therapeutic relationship, a safe and non-judgmental environment that allows individuals to share. As a therapist, who has worked in community mental health, I understand that each person is unique.

Accepting new patients! Just living in today’s world can be difficult and exhausting. Many of us feel as if we are just “getting by.” We all struggle with our mental health, from daily conflict with others, feeling frustrated or irritable, painful past experiences(trauma), struggles with work and family, and anxious thoughts. These issues can hinder our ability to heal and grow. We can all use help at times, even if we don’t know how to ask for it. I provide comprehensive support and direct feedback to help guide you through this difficult journey, to reach a path that leads to healing, understanding, acceptance, and resolution.

Allow me to assist you in your therapeutic journey and provide a safe, welcoming space for exploration and acceptance. I create this type of environment with an eclectic approach that is based in trauma informed care drawing from existential, person centered and solution-focused theories.

I recognize how challenging it can be to make sure our basic needs are met without neglecting our mental health. I applaud your bravery in taking the first big step towards a happier and healthier version of yourself. I understand that the healing process is never a straight line. Some days look and feel great, while other days seem impossible to get through. My goal isn’t to provide you the “perfect” life, instead I wish to assist you in garnering the tools necessary to approach difficulties and challenges in a healthy and productive way.

I predominantly work with couples who experience relational challenges. While every couple is unique, the underlying patterns that stand in their way of experiencing love and connection are not.

I also work with adult individuals with a variety of issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and grief.

There’s always been this little voice inside you that whispers, “You’re a failure. You’re incompetent. You don’t deserve to be happy.” Logically you know that’s not true, but the critical voices won’t shut up. You take care of everyone – your kids, your partner , people at work- but you never take care of yourself. There’s no joy anymore. It’s exhausting just to get through the day. What’s even more frustrating is that you have so many personal and professional goals but you feel so emotionally paralyzed that you can’t even get started. This then reinforces those awful voices that tell you you’re a failure.

At different points of our lives, we may find ourselves facing obstacles that seem to be very difficult to overcome. Strategies that used to help us move forward no longer seem to work.
