You need a space "to call your own" where you can process your joys & concerns, or hopes & fears. You need to be able to do this without being judged, or pressured to conform to a predetermined social standard.

Whether you are dealing with depression or anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief & loss, or poor self-worth, you will have your "own space" here. ALL are welcomed & affirmed in their unique personhood. With therapy, you can foster the courage to heal & live again.

Come as you are. I have many years of experience working with people and have seen people travel from brokenness to restoration. This isn't the end of your story. It takes an incredible amount of courage to face things in life but you don't have to be alone. I know that it can be scary to walk into a therapy room and share things that require great vulnerability. Lack of self-love. Infertility. Pregnancy Loss. Postpartum Depression. Guilt/Shame. Life Transitions. Identity. Marriage and Family Issues. Whatever you're facing, I would love to help you find healing.

If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you needed support but didn't know where to turn, you're not alone. I recall my initial attempts at seeking therapy in my younger days, where encounters with judgmental counselors deterred me from seeking help for a while. As life unfolded, it became evident that something wasn't right, prompting me to persistently search for a compassionate guide who would listen without judgment and aid me in my healing journey.

I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is the most important thing when starting therapy. I work diligently to provide a safe and comfortable space for my clients. It is important to me that my clients experience an atmosphere of trust and empathy in building the therapeutic alliance. Through deep processing, my hope is that the unconscious may come forward and bring new realizations to help in growth, healing, and understanding while navigating your life circumstances. I believe that growth comes in the uncomfortable circumstances that we face in life.

My ideal client is someone who knows there's something they want to work on, but isn't sure how to start. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression, and don't know why? Are relationships difficult, or do you feel like you haven't found your people? Has life suddenly just switched to "hard mode"? I especially enjoy working with people who are trying to work while taking care of chronic illnesses, fellow social services employees, and LGBTQ+ clients. I love working with neurodivergence!

Men often face societal expectations that discourage vulnerability and seeking help. The pressure to be strong, self-reliant, and in control can leave us feeling isolated and unable to express our true emotions. However, it's important to remember that seeking support is an act of strength and self-care, not a sign of weakness. By embracing vulnerability, we build healthier connections with ourselves, foster growth, and enhance relationships with those we love.

Sometimes in life you don't feel heard or understood. At those times, nothing feels safe and you feel alone. When you are going through a difficult time in your life, whether acute or long-term, it can feel overwhelming and isolating. I believe my role in therapy is that of a helper, to be with you in your journey, whether that be finding your own voice, healing past wounds, or working through trauma. Through building a relationship based on compassion, empathy, and respect, we discover the tools needed for growth and change, the resilience and strength that you always possessed.

Each person is on a unique life journey. We look forward to learning where you are on your journey and how we can help you create the life you desire. It is not about dwelling on the past but about using life lessons to move forward in a positive way. Even our most difficult life experiences bring us wisdom, character and integrity.

Thank you for visiting my page, I specialize in anxiety, depression and communication, especially about interpersonal, marital, and premarital relationships. My faith is grounded in the Catholic church and many of my clientele appreciate and benefit from a shared belief, but my professional religious framework does welcome and include other faiths. God willing, I will be ordained a Catholic Deacon in April, so this is the lens through which I see and interact with the world.

Licensed in CA, FL, MI and DE. Psychotherapy is a journey of discovery. It is a walk toward the self. The purpose of psychotherapy is to assist the patient with knowing the Self: their intrinsic goodness, wisdom and strength found within. For women and couples, this requires a setting aside of assumptions about the self and others in order for curiosity to emerge. In psychotherapy, we explore what brings meaning to life and what creates value. We ask, “Do my actions bring me closer to the person I want to be?” As I assist the patient with shoring up coping skills we also explore the wondrous road back to the Self.

Do you find yourself frequently unhappy, dissatisfied, consumed by wishing things were different but fearful of change? Is a relationship with a significant other, parent or child causing ongoing distress? Do you often feel anxious or depressed but are unsure why? If so, it is my goal to create a safe environment in which we can explore those issues together and partner to help you live the life you want to live.

Feelings, emotions or life events can throw you off balance and cause you distress. Working together in a collaborative, therapeutic relationship, it is possible to better understand yourself and to learn to cope with events that influence your life. I provide a validating and non-judgmental space for you to share your story. Together we can explore your strengths and challenges and determine how you want to move forward. I use an integrative approach to therapy, which allows me to individualize my treatment for each client.

Come in and talk as much or as little as you want to. When you feel the right amount of safety and trust, we will figure out together how to proceed, how to reach the goals you have, how to help you be the person you want to be. You will find support, privacy, and respect. All of us want to belong. All of us fear being ultimately alone. All of us want to feel safe, cared for, and connected to others. Let me help you work on those things and see your symptoms and functioning improve.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families in areas relating to anxiety, depression, general relationship concerns, health issues, life transitions, marriage counseling, ADHD/ADD, and faith.
