“Courage is not the absence of fear, its inspiring others to move beyond it.” Sometimes you must be lost to find your higher self again. Connecting to oneself is challenging when doing it alone. Don't go alone when you have an open arm of support. Life transitions can go up and down which can be challenging to deal with. I value support and is essential during any transition. Transition and obstacles are little cues for self-improvements to the heart, body, soul, mind and mind.

While I believe every person is the ultimate expert in themselves, I think therapy provides a powerful opportunity for partnership and guidance. In a safe, nonjudgmental space, people are able to explore new elements of their lives and selves, to identify goals and values, and to examine the ways current patterns are either supporting or hindering those goals. My job as a therapist is to help create that safe space with you, to encourage you along your process of exploration, and to provide reflection and guidance where it may be helpful.

I am here to support you in understanding and creating whatever this may be for you in your life, whether it is an emotional, social, spiritual, or environmental changes.

Life experiences, transitions, and relationships provide both an opportunity to be challenged and to grow. In my practice, I welcome adults, couples, adolescents and families who wish to improve the quality of any dimension of their lives - from professional, family and parenting relationships to emotional, interpersonal, or physical challenges. Drawing upon specialized training focused on gaining insight (psychodynamic), building skills to manage emotions and behaviors (cognitive behavioral) and understanding relationships (family systems/relational), I work closely with individuals to develop understanding and identify goals that address the distinct factors that may be inhibiting life pursuits or interfering with personal, academic, or professional satisfaction and success.
