Life and relationships can be challenging, and sometimes we need help along our journey. As a therapist, I offer emotional support, and provide encouragement as clients pursue their emotional, physical, and mental health goals. I take great care in providing a safe space as clients process difficult emotions and work on healing from painful experiences. I help clients identify and develop their strengths, improve the quality of their relationships, and discover deeper meaning and purpose in life. I view counseling as a collaborative process, and I tailor my approach to complement each person’s unique needs and circumstances.

I help my clients understand the logic behind their emotions. Once they understand how their mind (logic) and heart (emotions) work, they are better able to use their new tools to reduce or stop depression, worries, pain, and relationship problems. Marriages improve and children behave better once these principles are put into place. They learn how to meet their needs in a healthier way and break the abusive cycles of behavior. I work with couples, families and individuals of all ages with a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, parenting and relationship issues.
