My approach to therapy is solution focused and the importance of living in the present and in the moment and focusing on the future.

I provide a safe environment for clients to process their issues. I believe that psychotherapy is more than talk therapy.

I work well with grief related issues (complicated grief) and problems that arise from chronic illnesses.

People come to therapy because they want to feel better. It might be relationship problems or anxiety/depression, but whatever the reason, life has become uncomfortable or painful.

I focus on altering self-defeating ways, gaining perspective, and increasing insight that leads to change. The result is an improved quality of life.

As a therapist, I focus on helping individuals heal, become inspired, and aware of their inner strengths. I firmly believe that every one of us has the ability to overcome our struggles and reach our full potential. The first step in this journey is to listen. I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to share their concerns, fears, and goals. Opening up to a stranger can be intimidating, so I strive to build a trusting and supportive relationship with my clients.

I believe that everyone comes to a time in life when they face their own personal “truth in the room”. This can be as simple as private self-reflection or as complicated as trying to save a relationship or marriage. Maybe you have a child who is out of control or a sibling who suffers from substance abuse. Whatever brings you to therapy, know that it is my goal to partner with you as you work toward personal growth and wellness. Strong individuals are able to have strong relationships and healthy lives with meaning and purpose. My ideal client is one who is ready to explore "who they are and to do it on purpose".
