"Partnering with you to improve the quality of your life: that is my goal as your therapist. I'm here to encourage, support, empower, and listen. During our first session we will determine your goals for therapy and what changes you want to make to improve your life. To best help you, I use an integrative technique, designed to meet you where are ready to start, and sessions are tailored to your needs and goals. One of the most important therapeutic factors, according to research and my own experience, is finding the right fit with your therapist."

"I enjoy any opportunity to work with a individual psychotherapy clients (adolescents,adult, older adults and enjoy the challenge of sitting with couples/families. I do take the opportunity to conduct psychological evaluations and wish to expand this in my practice. Many of my clients are challenged by depression, anxiety, relation ship, low self-esteem, mood disorders, eating disorders, grief and life transition struggles. I work with a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic theory, and attachment-based couples treatment and to work with the client collaboratively in the treatment process."

"Change is hard. And it takes courage. As a therapist I create a safe space, free of judgment, where your pain and suffering can be accepted, understood - and healed. My approach builds on the strengths and resiliency of my clients. I will not try and fit you into a single theoretical framework. What I do is tailored to each unique individual, based on thorough assessment, using the best of evidence-based therapeutic methods."

"When life gets overwhelming it can feel like you're stuck, facing an endless cycle that you wish could change. Experiencing gridlock in your own life or in a relationship can be stressful, frustrating and lonely. Sometimes in the moment, it can seem easier to ignore or avoid the issues that are challenging you until you are faced with them again; and other times you can’t stop thinking about your challenges. It can also be difficult or painful to tolerate watching your loved ones struggle, or make decisions you think are not in their best interest. With time, these stressors can cause you to feel sad, anxious, empty and unbalanced."

"People often seek counseling or psychotherapy to change and to resolve difficulties or problems. Seeking consultation is personal and it takes some courage to initiate contact. Sometimes the impetus comes from within; sometimes your circumstances or others close to you provide a nudge. Finding the 'right' therapist for you may take some exploration. Some people simply seek to talk privately about a subject or an issue. This may involve one's direction in life, career, management role, or decision-making. Some people seek to address deeply personal thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, spirituality, or other concerns."

"Seeking therapy can often be a difficult decision and can create anxiety and ambiguity about what the process will entail.
