"My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help my clients effectively address personal life challenges. I help the client build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

"I provide psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults, adolescents/children and their families. This approach allows you to express internal thoughts and feelings and worries you have, and it can begin to help you understand them in a deeper way. Many people suffer from negative thinking and get stuck in that state of mind, feeling that is the reality. It is only a partial state of mind, it holds us back from being more productive and enjoying life. Since I am in my 4th year as a training analyst where I see people 4 times a week for intensive life changing work."

"As a co-creator of wellness, my practice endorses the "art" of individualized healing. My compassionate, creative, client-centered focus draws from the wisdom of several established disciplines to facilitate optimal health through the application of techniques derived from Psychological, Counseling, Mindfulness, Multicultural philosophy, Spiritual Counseling and the Expressive Arts. My practice builds upon an individual's strengths, enhances expression, increases personal insight and well-being. Ultimately, my goal is facilitate a safe, trusting and peaceful space in which my clients can heal, grow and ultimately... thrive."

"I work with adults, adolescents and couples, all diagnoses, to help you express and understand yourself in a deeper way than ever before. With this understanding comes self-knowledge, self-acceptance, self-control and self-healing."

"We all face difficult times in life but when it becomes harder to face life's challenges, depression or anxiety may be a factor. I view therapy as not only an opportunity to learn techniques to manage and cope with symptoms of depression and anxiety, but also as a journey of self exploration, awareness/understanding, and growth. While we can't change the past, we CAN heal contributing factors to depression/anxiety, such as family/relationship problems, substance abuse, codependency, and grief. My style is empathic and supportive, providing a non-judgmental atmosphere for personal growth and change."

" No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel like your taking one step back. You’re a high performer and always put on a smile, which helps you forget your pain. You feel you will never be fully happy and never be able to fully enjoy life how others do, because of your many losses. You may keep friends and family at a distance, to protect yourself from yet another inevitable loss. You may have stopped exercising and taking care of yourself the way you used to since it takes too much work and you're just surviving at the end of another long day. "

"We are all on a journey towards improved health and wholeness, but the road to healing can often be difficult to navigate. Life challenges can result in feelings of anger, depression, anxiety, and loss of control. Often times we might experience physical symptoms as a result of ongoing stress as well. These same struggles, however, can be opportunities for growth. Our counseling professionals will walk with you on your journey of self-discovery, and together we will uncover your unique strengths, develop coping skills, increase self-confidence, and work toward restoring balance in your life."

"The primary factor that determines if therapy is helpful is the "fit" between therapist and patient, i.e., degree of comfort, ease of communication, agreement on what problems are to be addressed and sense of safety. My approach to treatment is guided by my initial assessment of individuals or couples, wherein I learn why help is being sought and way the specific problems are experienced. This helps me form a picture of what has lead to the problems that bring people to seek help. We then determine together if how I'm thinking is helpful."

"I am a compassionate therapist who excels at helping clients achieve their own personal goals, whether it be reducing feelings of depression and anxiety, improving family and marital relationships, or increasing overall life satisfaction. I approach therapy with nonjudgemental kindness and a concern for my clients' well-being. "

"I have faith in the idea that people can, and do change. In my experience, change is not always a linear process. Often, when trying to change a situation or behavior, people fall short or stumble. Being able to truly evaluate an individual's strengths and building upon those, allows for the needed empowerment to overcome our barriers. I am passionate about helping individuals to overcome various behavioral health concerns. Whether you are facing addiction, anxiety, anger issues, grief, stress, depression or trauma, I use a strengths based approach, coupled with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build upon your inherit resiliency to affect change."

"Life presents all of us with challenges and difficulties. Some are obvious, some less so. Sometimes we only know that we're struggling without being able to put our finger on why that is. I don't believe you need all the answers to start your journey to overcome the obstacles that you face. The starting point is the desire to improve your relationships, family, and career. Therapy provides a supportive environment where you can learn to cope with existing distress and learn to address the needs that will help increase the quality of your life and relationships."
