Waitlist for new clients
Throughout life, we face life changes, identity and personal crises, losses, and possible disconnection with ourselves and with others. When we begin to explore these changes in a safe and supportive space, we may begin to authentically express our needs and desires, while also creating and maintaining healthy boundaries for ourselves. Creating a life of greater joy and abundance is achieved through honest and open communication, reflection, and a deeper relationship with ourselves and with others.

Sometimes we become better at seeming to be well, rather than actually being well. Living our fullest lives comes when we are aligned mind, body, and soul. This life of wellness is a delicate balance that can be impacted by life and other circumstances leaving us looking for a change. Therapy doesn't have to be a last resort when we're struggling and feel out of options; perhaps it is just the next step to wellness. Working with a therapist can be helpful in finding and maintaining your balance, to reconnect with your authentic self.

I love helping people heal and reclaim their most authentic Self. I find that most mental health diagnoses are a cluster of symptoms related to the core issue of having lost a secure relationship with yourself. Most of us have had life experiences that have caused us to internalize negative beliefs, create protective mechanisms, and develop strategies to manipulate our environments so that we can feel safer and more secure in the world. All of this distances us from our true selves and leads to inauthentic be-ing in our lives. Without authenticity, it is difficult to feel truly safe, satisfied and have healthy relationships.

Many couples seek my services because their marriage is without passion, trust has been violated or hope seems like a faded memory. I partner with couples in restoring hope. It begins with developing a deep marital friendship, learning how to navigate marital conflict, learning the critical importance of repair after conflict and establishing an environment of positivity. As a cognitive behavioral therapist, I work with individual clients to overcome grief, and develop effective tools to manage anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Are you unsettled with a super hero cape that is weighing you down? Do you look like you have it all together, but you're secretly dealing with issues? Are you the one that people turn to for help with their problems, but you are to afraid or embarrassed to ask for help yourself? It is very easy to become consumed with trying to have it all, pretending to be okay, and putting others first. Unfortunately, the sacrifice of neglecting yourself, carrying emotional baggage from unaddressed pain, trauma, anger, and unhappiness, can lead to you feeling depleted physically, financially and mentally.
