When depression or anxiety takes over and loneliness sets in, it is understandable to feel hopeless. Sometimes even relationships can lead to unhappiness. In therapy, we will work to address these issues. Therapy is a journey of learning about your past and present self. This self-exploration helps open the doors to a fulfilling and meaningful life. I work with clients to help them understand their strengths and struggles, which creates a platform to achieve their goals. In order to do that, I believe that the therapist-client relationship is a partnership and it is central to achieving significant progress.

I could tell you all about my 20+ years of trainings/certifications, therapeutic methods, and the usual psychobabble jargon professionals use. However, if you are like most people, your main question is: "Can you help me in my situation?". To be honest, I don't know if I can help you until we meet and explore what is going on in your life that has lead you to this search. Since 1994, I have assisted thousands of individuals, couples, and families find direction, solutions, and peace in their lives.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life in the aftermath of trauma. In its wake, trauma can leave us feeling like we're stuck pushing the same boulder up a steep hill, never able to rest and never reaching the summit. It can impact our ability to trust ourselves, to trust others, to communicate effectively, and to feel safe in our own bodies. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of past experiences, I offer a safe and compassionate space to explore your feelings and work towards healing.

WORK. LIFE. BALANCE. If you are driven and ambitious or a passionate creative, we can work together toward a balance among the professional, personal, and inner aspects of your life. You might also want to work with me to develop concrete social strategies to navigate the challenging interpersonal dynamics of a competitive workplace. My area of expertise is identity development. I have a strong background helping people manage issues related to personal and social identity, crisis/trauma, substance abuse, and the emotions that can underlie destructive behavior. Depending upon your needs and beliefs, I also address the role of spirituality.

I understand how life challenges can be difficult to overcome and can cause increased stress, anxiety or depression. While some people suffer temporary periods of anxiety or depression; others may have more life long persistent mental illness such as Bi-polar or Schizophrenia. My passion for helping others plus my personal experience raising two children with special needs led me to opening Bright Future Behavioral Health Inc. Bright Future is a non-profit agency dedicated to educating the community and providing a holistic approach to treatment. We provide telehealth services, in office services, and community based counseling.

I believe in a strength based approach which means every client has a natural strength that can be used to improve upon any situation. My goal is to help clients identify and utilize the skills they already possess. Therapy approaches I often use to achieve this goal are EMDR, CBT, motivational interviewing, etc. I enjoy working with clients who are seeking to process through trauma. We have all experienced it at least once in our lives, and I love working with clients seeking to process and overcome these experiences. I practice a judgement free environment and enjoy learning as much from my clients as they learn from me.
