My office is a safe and judgment free space where my clients can talk openly about the challenges they face. I utilize a holistic therapeutic approach which explores my client’s whole self. This includes their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social being. Participating in therapy does not remove or eliminate life's challenges; however, it can help clients learn strategies and coping mechanisms to deal with them. I concentrate on my client’s strengths, using CBT, as well as, other treatment modalities. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families.

“Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. It takes strength to acknowledge our anger. It takes strength to face our sadness, and to grieve, and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. It takes strength to talk about our feelings, and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.” ― Fred Rogers - I believe we all have the ability to overcome life's many challenges. But sometimes we can get stuck. Stuck in unhealthy patterns of thoughts and behaviors that prevent us from leading fulfilling lives. We are not alone in this.
