At some point, we all struggle to adjust to change and fail to respond to life’s challenges with our best effort. It’s normal to feel stuck.

Life’s journey includes many difficulties, including challenges for individuals, couples, and families. Therapy provides a confidential and safe space where feelings can be explored, new skills can be acquired, and healing can begin. Seeking guidance is an important first step. I have experience working survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and other trauma. Trauma often surfaces in ways we may not realize as we do not always know how to articulate and process our emotions. I take a collaborative approach with my clients to identify problem areas, goals, and learn to identify and express their feelings.

I believe that we all need someone to talk with who will listen and accept us without judgement. I consider therapy as a privilege where I am invited into my client's lives, and to travel the journey with them through healing, change and self-empowerment. I utilize different modalities such as; psycho dynamic theory, attachment theory, cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness.
