Welcome! I am open and affirming to all adults. My office is physically challenged accessible, as I believe all should have equal opportunities. I practice Holistic Psychotherapy, helping you connect your past events to your present day behaviors, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping you turn your negative thoughts into positive ones, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, which helps you accept the present moment for what it is. Talk Therapy is also important to purge our feelings in a safe space, while learning strategies. I also offer Spiritual counseling for those struggling in the awakening process.

My belief is in whole heart healing...that is, healing of the mind, body and soul. I believe that people have the tools to help heal themselves, but with all of the toxic energy that is around us, those tools get buried or are forgotten. I like to see myself as a conduit for the person's change, evolution and healing. The way I work with clients is to help them find those tools within themselves-teach them new ways to use them in order to become healthy and stay healthy. I work with couples and individuals with a focus on women and women's issues.

Congratulations on taking a step towards change and feeling better! I have had the honor of working with individuals, couples and families in residential and outpatient settings and have witnessed people change and reach unique and individualized goals. I use a variety of techniques such as experiential, CBT, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Gestalt and psychoeducational modalities. I use EMDR to help clients recover from traumatic, disturbing and shame-based memories. I help clients find the motivation to change their unsatisfying patterns by empowering them to identify, express and prioritize needs and to stay focused on their goals.

As a certified hypnotherapist I have the pleasure of helping people achieve goals that previously have been elusive. People of all ages can benefit from hypnosis, from very young children to the elderly. Almost everyone is familiar with the use of hypnosis to quit smoking but all situations, from anxiety relief, weight control, pain management, addictions, autoimmune disorders to childbirth can be improved with hypnotherapy. Since our sessions are totally relaxing, clients enjoy being hypnotized and find it a pleasant way to bring about changes in their lives.

I am committed and passionate about my work in helping others reach their full potential. I am trained to work with couples, families and individuals. I have experience in helping couples work through issues of infidelity, betrayal, intimacy, and conflict resolution. I help couples identify their relationship identity through honest communication and vulnerability. I believe in the power of all relationships and how it affects the quality of our lives. When working with individuals I use a systemic lens, in which I see the individual in the context of their relationships, major life events, ethnicity, culture, religion & sexuality.

There are many reasons people seek counseling and it is my mission to help each individual on their personal journey. As a counselor I help each of my clients to identify their strengths and empower them to use these strengths to better their lives. I work with a sense of respect and compassion for each of my clients. I feel that every person who wants change in his or her life can achieve it. I am committed to helping each client find and achieve the change that is right for them.
