""Never underestimate a person's capacity for change." This motto has driven my approach to assisting others throughout my 10+ years as a helping professional.

"My primary belief as a therapist is that the client is the determining factor as to the direction of change, and my job is to help guide, educate, and provide insight into the possible choices. Cognitive therapies, including EMDR, focus on the connection between thoughts/beliefs and feelings and how examining these more closely can change how they can manifest in one's life. Furthermore, EMDR works to resolve negative beliefs that are a result of past/present experiences. Clients who are open to the examination of thoughts/beliefs and feelings often find significant positive changes in life."

"We are complex individuals molded and sometimes broken by our unique life experiences. These experiences provide the subjective lens through which we perceive reality, and can negatively influence our thoughts and behaviors. This can sometimes happen outside of our awareness. For instance, we often create hidden internal conflicts which can cause daily distress in our lives. However, we can also be very aware of negative thoughts and behaviors which create havoc in our lives. By allowing me to step into your story and your life experiences, we can work towards the goal of improving your overall well-being and happiness."

"I enjoy working with people who are eager to move on in life. I understand that sometimes life puts before us situations which are difficult or impossible to handle alone and during that time we need support. I love being that support. One of my greatest joys is walking on a path toward growth and development with someone and watching that person embrace his or her own strengths when my support is no longer needed. I have been privileged to accompany many people on their journey toward personal freedom."

"Life stressors can become overwhelming. Depression, anxiety, unresolved grief, and low self-esteem can leave a person feeling unable to cope.

"Not only do I understand the challenge in picking up the phone to make that first phone call for help, I understand and am mindful of the challenges of following through with this, every step of the way. I see my role as a therapist as helping each of my clients to move toward their best life. I work collaboratively with my clients to figure out what that means for them, and am mindful that my job as a therapist is to work myself out of a job."
