For over years, I have worked successfully with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents and groups, in private practice and in-hospital, to achieve their therapeutic goals. I offer you a warm, supportive environment where you can safely explore your feelings, thoughts, and problems. I will engage with you in a highly interactive style and provide direct feedback. I especially enjoy working with couples to improve their lives together, and guiding people who are in search of a healthy relationship. I'm ready to help with DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, TRAUMA, RELATIONSHIPS, PTSD, DIVORCE and TRANSITIONS for clients of ALL ages.

It's hard to be happy when your life is out of balance: You feel down or sad. The activities you used to enjoy are no longer fun. You have no energy. Everything stresses you out. You feel like crying. You want to crawl into a hole and pull the hole in with you. Maybe you're hurt and angry over a relationship. Maybe you're a teenager whose parents don't understand you or you're the parent of a kid who's making dangerous choices. Maybe you're a young adult who has discovered that "adulting" is a lot harder than you thought.

I am passionate about creating a safe, positive space to help clients move through life's changes and grow in the process. Our sessions will be centered on your unique needs and goals. I help my clients learn to communicate effectively, make good choices, and form healthy relationships. I offer a free 20 minute consultation.

Navigating through changes and transitions can be challenging and alienating. I offer a new perspective and a helpful therapeutic partnership. I feel it is a true privilege to be part of one's healing journey. My practice is inspired by Person Centered Therapy and a diverse study of methods ranging from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance, Commitment, and strengths-based therapy. I believe that no two clients are the same, and that a practice must be an individualized collaboration based on mutual authenticity and honesty. These are among the compassionate qualities which allow for a genuine therapeutic alliance.

I believe we were created for relationships. Relationships can bring healing, wholeness and happiness. However, despite their powerful role in our life, they can be extremely difficult to manage and can cause us a lot of pain and stress. This is where I hope to be able to help you. I love working with individuals, couples and families to help them on the their road to finding peace and joy in their relationships. At Charis Counseling Associates you will find an accepting and understanding atmosphere where you can be open about the real struggles of life.

My goal is to empower you to overcome obstacles, shed limiting beliefs, and cultivate a revitalized and fulfilled version of yourself. I can help you to shift negative perceptions; shaping the life you desire, and igniting a renewed sense of purpose.

My approach to therapy is grounded in person-centered theory, which recognizes that at our core we are all good people who are just trying to “make sense” of our complicated lives. I genuinely believe that every person is born with an inner strength and resilience to help them live their best life by being their true self. As your therapist, I can help you to identify and embrace your strengths and help you through the challenges in your life. My top priority is to build a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, honesty and compassion. I create a safe, positive, uplifting and nurturing environment to help clients feel empowered.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults. I believe that the therapeutic process is fostered by building a trusting and empathetic relationship. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space to explore and process ones experiences. Many children and teens struggle with a variety of emotional challenges. Therapy can help them to explore the different areas of their lives and learn skills that they can use to feel better about themselves and their situation.

Caring. Understanding. Empathic. Encouraging. These are all qualities you will experience while working with me as we navigate your path towards self-exploration. Research shows that the relationship between the therapist and the client is a significant contributing factor in the success of therapy. This is why I make every effort to put my clients at ease starting from the moment you walk in the door at your first session. I want to create a collaborative relationship with you so that, together, we can take steps to improve the quality of your relationships, your family, your life.
