"Today you or your family are one step closer to a new you, where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. I see therapy (individual, couples and family) as a collaborative effort to figure out what obstacles are getting in the way of you and your family's happiness. We explore past and current behaviors, thoughts, relationships, and make connections between past and current experiences to help create change. We can work together to create a new experience that not only gets you through the storm to the calm, but can help you or your family thrive."

"Helping people to feel better has always been my mission. No matter what the issue may be, I believe that there are choices and solutions to problems. Events happen in life, and then we have a choice in how we react to them, whether positive, neutral and negative. This is where I try to help people, in choosing their reactions while working through their feelings. Counseling is a discussion, and I try to guide people to make helpful solutions and to feel better about their lives. New understandings about your life and new behaviors can help you to feel better."

"As humans, we experience pain, loss, or difficulties in our lives as individuals and in our family relationships. We make our best efforts to cope, adapt or resolve these trying experiences on our own. But sometimes, we get stuck or they are too great to endure alone. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a safe place, free of judgement, invested in exploring, healing, and growing. Together, we can work on the interpersonal, emotional, psychological, and spiritual issues that hinder you and your relationships from reaching full potential."

"I am a strong proponent of health-oriented and positive psychology that emphasizes what is right with people rather than what is wrong with them. My counseling work is based on the integrative approach to psychotherapy that is best characterized as going beyond and across the confines of any single orientation. I draw from different theories to form a comprehensive view of all the complexities of human conditions and emotions. The reason for this is because no one theory has all the answers that could effectively work with every individual and situation."

"My ideal clients are often working to discover unproductive patterns in their lives that undermine their ability to live the full, happy life they desire and deserve.

"I am an experienced therapist. I enjoy working with children (9+), teens and adults. I see couples and families helping them live happier, more relaxed, and fulfilling lives. I am respectful of my client's time. I frequently check in to make sure that the sessions are helpful, and that we are focusing on what the client wishes to. If one approach is not working, we try another! When people are feeling anxious, depressed, or angry, often the problem is their stress level and lack of a support system."
