Individuals who come to therapy demonstrate courage as they seek positive change in their lives. In an effort to honor the courage it takes to heal and move through any obstacle, I believe it is essential to create a therapeutic environment that is collaborative and accepting. My clients tell me that as a result, they feel safe, supported and understood. For those who struggle with relationships, intimacy, trust, confidence issues, depression or anxiety-- this welcoming environment enhances therapy because individuals know that they are not alone. Working as a team encourages hope, self-trust and acceptance of one's strengths.

My goal is to assist clients in attaining a more satisfying life experience for themselves and their loved ones. Psychotherapy services are provided in a safe, warm, confidential and professional atmosphere.

Coming to therapy takes courage, strength, and commitment. Are you someone who feels that they need therapy or an unbiased support person who can help assist with navigating life changes, emotions, losses, and insecurities? Is your ultimate goal in life to be happy and healthy within yourself and within your interpersonal relationships? Do you struggle with obsessive worry, sadness and low motivation? If you answered yes to either question, therapy may be a great benefit to you. It is okay to experience these emotions because we often experience them. However, if most days they become debilitating, therapy is right for you.
