"It's my job is to walk beside the client at their pace in order to see their world. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach in therapy means clients not only uncover insights about themselves but they also learn about changes needed to reach their desired goals. My clients leave with numerous tools to utilize throughout their lives. People are inspiring creations to me, I love working with people, regardless of their issues, and believe each of us has the power to shape our own future into whatever we desire. Personalized solutions are critical for the success of each individual, couple and family."

""Be thankful for what you are now, and keep fighting for what you want to be tomorrow"- Unknown.

I will start where you are, listen to your goals, and help build a plan individualized to you. I bring compassion and positivity to each person I come into contact with."

"The answer to what you are going through is within you. It helps to have a space and a person to help us see that within ourselves. Life has a lot of ways of making us forget how capable and strong each of us are. If you are struggling to find this within yourself to help you overcome what obstacles you are currently facing, we can work together to help you get in touch with yourself again."

"It is of my personal belief that within most of us lies the resources to live a happy life. Unfortunately, things such as trauma, environmental stressors, or a lack of skills can get in the way of our ability to access these resources. Think of the last time you felt an overwhelming sense of peace, whether that be while soaking in a beautiful scenery, or watching children play. This "peace," or what I call "True Self," is within all of us."

When we create inner change we are able to find fulfillment and healing."

I presently work at Chaplaincy Behavioral Health alongside a diverse group of competent and kind-hearted clinicians. "

"I believe that seeking a behavioral health specialist is an essential part of wellness as a whole person. Just like if we had a physical health problem we go to the doctor. If we have emotional/mental health concerns then seeing a therapist gets us on the path to healing. "

"I work with clients who know something needs to change but they don't know how. They are good people who feel stuck doing the same things over without positive results or people who just want to stop hurting someone they love - individuals, couples adolescents and families. Often my clients have been victims of a traumatic experience. My clients are motivated, willing to try new things, and they want to feel better and improve their relationships with other people. They often have a secret fear that their problems are insurmountable, or the hurt from their past can never be overcome. My clients get results."

"Relationship with others is a primary motivating force in our lives, it is a primary need we all seek to meet in different ways. Collaborating with clients to help discover the emotional patterns in their lives that can cause and/or maintain distress so that we can find more adaptive and fulfilling responses is the main focus of my work. We will work together to identify the needs behind your emotions and we will strive to find clearer and more honest ways of expressing those needs so that those needs can finally be met."
