“Wellness” means something different to everyone. Mental and emotional wellness are key to living a healthy, happy life. My approach to therapy combines traditional methodologies with components of mindfulness & breath work. Using a client-centered yet eclectic approach, I believe in the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship in a safe, comfortable environment. The therapeutic process is a personal & individualized one, and as such this allows me to meet you in the present while being a catalyst through your change process.

Our emotional well-being is integral to our physical health. Individual or family therapy can enhance our ability to manage life's stressors, such as sudden or chronic illness, family conflicts, financial strain, or interpersonal problems, which can lead to anxiety, depression and physical maladies. Therapy is beneficial to people who struggle with a mental illness, such as clinical depression or bipolar disorder. Enhancing insight into our problems, along with the development of healthy coping skills is empowering, and can often mean the difference between facing each day with confidence or avoidance of living the best life possible.

My ideal client could be in any stage of addiction awareness. They might be considering whether they have a problem, whether they can stop on their own but need support, are ready to do what is necessary to stop drinking or using and sustained recovery support. There really is no ideal client, it is what the person needs at the time they are ready to ask for some help. Then we sit down and talk, and come up with an initial plan always remembering that it will probably change. I want to meet every client where he or she is in the path of recovery from addiction.

All I could ask for in a client is a willingness and openness to learn and grow together in the therapeutic journey and relationship. Some of the areas of concern that we can tackle together are anxiety, intrusive thoughts, depressive symptoms, mind-body connection, existential crisis, relationship struggles, issues with communication and coping, low self-esteem, and counseling for grief/loss. Together, we will reveal the different triggers, limiting beliefs, and experiences that have molded your perspectives and reactions to things in life.

Life can be full of unknowns and what-ifs. Some days you feel great while others you can barely function. Often there is no rhyme or reason to how you feel leading to confusion and frustration. Maybe you're moving through days questioning yourself and your choices leaving you exhausted. Major life transitions can spike emotions that are hard to make sense of but you do not have to figure any of it out alone. You should never settle for not being your best self! It’s time you find peace while gaining perspective.

I have been licensed/practice for thirty-two years and I have learned much about human nature. The most important lesson, 'everyone is an individual and unique'. I, therefore, frame my sessions to 'fit' my patient's individual personalities. For the most part, I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is the only orientation clinically proven to help patients. It allows patients to reflect and partake in the therapy sessions. This orientation allows the patient more control over their own wellbeing. When working with teens I practice Solution Focused sessions. Solution Focused is a CBT geared towards younger patients.

Eclectic Therapists
Many practitioners take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing upon various aspects of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic methods to create their own custom-made approach. Such therapists often work with their clients to create a treatment plan that encompasses different techniques to best address the client's particular problems and to appeal to their sensibility.
