Welcome! Come in and make yourself comfortable. Tell me what's been on your mind? Life can be hard sometimes, I know. I believe that you deserve happiness and to be the best version of you through healing and acceptance. Let me help you with feelings of sadness, anxiety from work, rebuilding a healthy relationship with your spouse or let's talk about that anger that doesn't go away. Do you need help with setting boundaries with family members? Perhaps you're looking for help with communication or how to be more assertive instead of passive. I will walk beside you as you take your first steps toward your healing journey.
In addition to providing therapy services, I also offer some unique specialty services. I assist families in private adoptions by writing original and comprehensive Home Studies for legal and judicial review. In addition, I conduct Psychological Evaluations for clients interested in bariatric/weight loss surgery. Fees and cost vary for these services.
I invite you to experience a unique environment free of judgement, blame, criticism, shame, guilt or embarrassment. Instead I offer you a space filled with empathy, compassion, trust, respect, support and most importantly HOPE. I believe you deserve healing and happiness. If you believe the same for yourself, don't waste another day and contact me today.

I take an active role in my therapy sessions. You will receive feedback, learn practical skills and see things from a different perspective. Sometimes I will challenge you with difficult questions that may take you out of your comfort zone. If you can maintain an open mind, you can experience an incredible transformation in therapy. Are you ready?

I will utilize psychodynamic therapy to delve into your childhood and perhaps discover the root of your struggles. DBT and CBT are very helpful in learning how to change behaviors, recognize negative thought patterns and teach us how to regulate our emotions specifically during difficult times. Mindfulness is a part of every session as it helps to bring us back into the present moment.
