Only by listening to you and your experiences can I know how best partner with you to guide you in your life journey.

When asking for help you deserve to be treated non-judgmentally. I use my experience, knowledge & compassion to help patients find a better way to live with a wide range of difficulties (e.g., anxiety, anger, chronic illness, relationship issues). I strive to help each individual learn how to cope more effectively with life's problems by guiding adjustment of behaviors, beliefs & helping patients learn tools that work more effectively in managing how we relate to our own thoughts, emotions, & feelings. Who do you want to be in control of your life, you or your feelings & worries? Live consciously & consistently with your values.

At some point in life, everyone experiences something that is incredibly difficult to process and cope with. As a society, we often feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and defeated in our everyday lives. My greatest joy in being a therapist is helping others find peace and comfort in the chaos that our world brings us. The relationship I strive to have with the people that I serve is based on trust, unconditional positive regard, and mutual respect. I work with people in addressing a variety of issues/challenges including anxiety and depression management, grief, trauma, life transitions, women's issues, and relationship issues.
