Entering therapy can be one of the most rewarding yet challenging decisions of your life. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and unique to each person. I am not sure there is an "ideal client" for me- I truly enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds. Overwhelming anxiety and depression can effect our personal, social, and occupational functioning. I'm here to help you find new ways of coping with life's stressors. We can go at your own pace and improve your ability to cope with distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I help clients help themselves using a client-centered and strengths based approach. I provide a supportive, caring, and empathic environment. The therapeutic relationship that develops becomes an important instrument of change. In this setting, I target a client's identified area of distress. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, working with individuals, couples, and families in a private, confidential setting. I believe in providing unconditional positive regard for clients in order to facilitate an atmosphere of understanding and acceptance. My experience covers all stress-related issues, anxiety, depression , trauma, women's issues, and conflict resolution.

I work with adult clients who feel stuck but still want to build more confidence, more inner peace, and harmonious relationships. I enjoy empowering people to trust in themselves and in their partners. I collaborate best with folks who are smart and creative, spiritual but not necessarily religious.

Over the years and after receiving thousands of initial calls and emails from clients, it is clear that many are unsure of what they need or where to go. We find great pleasure in helping clients navigate this process. As a group practice we are able to provide services for a variety of needs: anxiety, addictions, pain management, depression , relationship issues, psychological testing, individual, life transitions and even helping clients who just want to live their best life! We stand out in our efforts to make this process as smooth as possible. Many providers boast about their training in a particular treatment approach (and this is important) but research suggests that the interventions are only part of the story. The fit between client and clinician, the wellbeing of the clinician, the ease of access and the experience of the treatment process matter as much, and sometimes more, than the particular treatment model used. Pillars of Wellness was founded with the hope of ensuring an ideal client-clinician fit and providing both clients and clinicians with a positive experience. We let our clinicians excel at their craft by giving them the space to create their ideal practice.

There are many reasons people seek out counseling, but the underlying reasons are that we are looking for change, meaning, or healing.

Because of this, I use a trauma-informed integrative style to give you, the client, space to be yourself in an empathic and non-judgmental environment.
