I provide mental health counseling services to individuals and families impacted by mental health and life challenges often generated by the complexities of our modern world. These challenges include depression, anxiety ,adults working through childhood sexual abuse traumas, work/life balance and other life challenges. My mission is to help clients help themselves, adapt to the process of change, transition and recovery by engaging in a Client Centered Therapeutic Process. This process is meant to encourage client self awareness, acknowledgement of personal value, exploration of thoughts, feeling, beliefs and behaviors impacting client lives in the here and now.

We are a multi-specialty group of compassionate and highly skilled therapists who are dedicated to helping you successfully handle life's daily and long-term challenges. Our psychologists, social workers, and mental health counselors are very experienced at helping you meet your goals. We work collaboratively with individuals, couples and families to address emotional & physical health issues, relationship/family concerns, career/work related challenges, and life-transitions. We help you utilize your strengths and abilities to develop more satisfaction and fulfillment in life. We are committed to helping you develop more resilience and optimize your health and well-being.

Sooner or later, each and every one of us will experience loss of some kind. Often, when we think of grief and loss, we think of death - the loss of life, of a partner, a sibling, a parents, a friend, a pet. The grief felt here can ring in as absence, the lack of something that used to be. Grief and loss, however, can also include the loss of something that could have been, or even something that will never be the same again. We experience loss of relationships and marriages, loss of jobs, of roles within our family, and of a future we imagined that will never be. Whatever your loss, it is just as important as any other.

***Accepting New Clients*** When most people are asked why they see a therapist, they recite their struggles relating to stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and/or trauma. In most cases, individuals experience anguish when trying to distance themselves from such issues. A skilled therapist can help to identify the root of one’s struggles and ultimately promote a more fulfilling life.

An effective therapist combines the art of counseling with the science of appropriate interventions in order to facilitate the desired changes sought by the client.

I have a great deal of experience in Relationship Counseling, including working with clients with alternative lifestyles. My counseling experiences encompasses Depression, Anxiety and Anger Management as well as many other issues and life challenges.

Most of us face struggles at some point in our lives and these struggles may include stress at work, difficulty with a relationship, or family problems. Struggles may include emotional symptoms such as depression or anxiety, behavioral problems such as having difficulty throwing useless items away or even drinking alcohol too often, and/or cognitive symptoms such as repetitive upsetting thoughts or uncontrolled worry to name a few. Sometimes, life's struggles can be eased by talking with a supportive friend/family member, but when this doesn't resolve the issue, it makes sense to seek a qualified therapist like myself.

As a professional counselor, trained in spiritual counseling, I have 12 years of experience offering services as a mental health professional to those who are seeking to apply mental health, psychological, or human development principles.

Life’s challenges can allow one to believe that their situations are unique to them. Mental illness, addiction, stress, grief, and relationship struggles touch the lives of individuals on a daily basis. As women, we tend to believe that we can carry the weight of the world, but meanwhile, we're struggling on the inside. Are you not feeling like yourself and wondering what happened to the "old" you who used to enjoy life? Perhaps you're struggling with a relationship that isn't bringing you the joy it once did, ​or maybe it's the struggles of parenting. My question to you, is when and what will you do to make changes?
