"I founded my private practice on the principle of helping others create the life that they want. Often times that means resolving past trauma or issues that stand in our way.

Every one deserves to be the person they want and I am here to help you on your journey of change and healing."

"Oftentimes, life can get the better of us. Finding out how to handle stressful situations and learning how to redefine oneself is a journey of self-exploration.

We will make a plan and work toward your goals at your pace. "

"My life's work and passion is to help others reach their fullest potential, becoming the very best version of themselves. This is accomplished by promoting well-being emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. I believe one's difficulties are connected to their culture, religion, community, family, relationships, environment and personal experiences, and do not happen in isolation. When the whole person is considered in therapy, healing begins. With a background in athletics, coaching, and fitness, I believe it's necessary to have both mental and physical health. The mind and body are interconnected. When they are balanced and working together, optimal health is achieved."

It can help to heal psychological turmoil and emotional pain by putting the past into perspective and walking forward into a different future. It is not easy.
