"Individuals interact with life's challenges the best they can given the strategies they have. One of my goals is to help a person acquire further tools with which to work with. It is helpful when individuals are open to learning. I have often been sought out in my counseling career, because of these tools as they were used in support of my clients. I have found that I work well with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety and with persons whom are trauma survivors."

"In my time as a marriage and family therapist, I have come to recognize one of the biggest challenges of therapy is setting up that first appointment. You may be apprehensive to begin to address your concerns, unsure whether your therapist will understand your needs or just anxious about the treatment process as a whole. I acknowledge it takes great strength to work towards change and I hope to facilitate this process with ease. My approach to therapy aims to help people achieve their goals through demonstrating genuine empathy and fostering personal empowerment and insight."

"I enjoy assisting people who are dealing with one or more of the stresses life can bring including anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting issues. I work best with issues of stress and family dysfunction, relationship issues, self-defeating behavior patterns, parenting issues with teens/oppositional children. Ideally, clients I work with are willing to express their feelings, explore their situations in a safe, accepting environment in order to achieve the peace of mind they seek."

"I believe that everyone has the right and the capacity to heal from trauma. Whether that trauma stems from childhood abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, death of a loved one, divorce, or other painful experience(s) – healing is possible. This kind of growth work is a process that takes time, courage, and compassion. Helping you feel safe is my first priority in beginning this process. Together we will cultivate your unique strengths and develop helpful ways to soothe yourself. I offer various holistic techniques, which you may decide to try, including conscious breathing, gentle yoga, and mindfulness meditation."

"BE HAPPY, HAVE PEACE, GET CONNECTED, AND GET ANSWERS!! Does it seem like everyone else is happy and you just can't get there? Do you keep searching for answers, but getting no where? Do you feel like you are the only one? Do you wonder "what's this all for?" If you have answered "yes," I can help you to get to the root of your problems and solve them for good! I will teach you to love and respect yourself so you can feel balanced, peaceful and joyful again, or maybe for the first time!"
