"DECIDING TO BEGIN PSYCHOTHERAPY IS A COURAGEOUS ACT. I enjoy working with clients who, via symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sexual-orientation or career issues, eating disorders, life transitions, or relationship issues are seeking a deeper understanding of their lives and which direction they wish to take. Often the symptom is the "call" from psyche, a portal into a deeper exploration into one's life which may yield increased self-awareness and introductions to formerly unknown aspects of one's own being. I feel privileged to be called upon to accompany individuals on this journey."

"I offer face to face, and telehealth therapy (video/phone) for clients convenience who have busy schedules. I treat current/previous Military Service Members deal with anxiety/depression.

I also help them select specific strategies that can address their problems, and achieve personal and professional goals by unlocking their full potential."

"Life has its difficult moments, whether it be switching jobs, moving somewhere new, or dealing with recurring issues in your relationships. Change, even if it is positive and expected, can be tough and it can feel like certain aspects are out of your control.

I believe that when we feel more in control of our lives, the better we feel about our situation, the people around us, and ourselves."

"My view of psychotherapy is that it is like a bridge. People often feel stuck, helpless or insecure about their lives and they need sensitive and empathic help to clarify and work through problems, "bridging" with someone until they can do it on their own. Ultimately, my goal is to empower others to reach higher levels of purpose, productivity and fulfillment. I have worked as a psychotherapist for over ten years to help others become the best version of themselves and find the reasons behind recurring habits, upsetting moods, anxieties, relational conflicts and obstacles that seem unsolvable."
