I believe as one becomes more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, they are better able to focus and honor their own individuality. To meet your unique needs we will explore personal influences and create new methods to address life and relationship dilemmas. My work involves exploring your personal strengths, resiliencies, and ambivalence about change while applying multiple strategies to achieve your goals. This may include an integrated counseling approach of cognitive-behavioral therapy, positive psychology, family systems, and reality therapies. Currently, I'm currently accepting new clients and I work with all ages.

Life can be very hard. We all face certain obstacles that cause us to feel afraid, sad, worried or even hopeless. We all deserve to be happy and at peace. My goal is to help you to become as happy and at peace as you can be. Many people are in difficult and stressful relationships with family or partners; dealing with loss; trauma; childhood pain and issues; coping with financial hardship, job loss or daily physical pain. Many are feeling depressed, hopeless, helpless and anxious. Together we will work to fix the problems that need to be fixed or better cope with them.

Offering in person and virtual sessions. As your therapist I am here to help guide the way. My eclectic approach utilizes proven therapeutic techniques to help you better understand you, your situation, your goals, and how to achieve that which you desire. Some situations I often work with include the following: learning how to better communicate with people in your life, transitioning through life's changes, managing stress, challenging anxious and depressive thought patterns, and dealing with the changes that occur after a physical health diagnosis.

Are you constantly telling yourself, “Be strong!" Do you tend to ignore your racing thoughts? You jump into each day more mentally exhausted than the day before, wishing and hoping for something to change. Maybe you lost a loved one or your child, were told you have a chronic illness/disease, realized that your relationship is in shambles, are haunted by childhood experiences, or the pressures of your life/ job have begun to take their toll. You have thought of therapy but rationalize with yourself that “it isn’t so bad” and that you can keep trying to “fix yourself” only to find yourself in a self-blaming pattern.
