I welcome those who are looking to feel more at peace with themselves! Untangling a web of negative thoughts, feelings, and habits can seem daunting, which is why taking the first step of seeking help is so powerful. If you are new to therapy, it can be hard to know what to expect. I see my purpose as your therapist to gently guide you as you learn new skills to live your best life. My therapeutic approach is client- centered and strength-based, meaning that your treatment is collaboratively determined based on your individual needs.

Counseling takes an effort on behalf of the client and the therapist. This proactive approach involves establishing a productive relationship that includes trust, mutual respect, responsibility, and team work. As part of this process, present problems are explored and methods of coping are developed for an improved life.

When I work with clients, my goal is to address the issues that they are currently facing, and strive to create a better atmosphere for them to live, and grow. I have helped clients through depression, and other mood disorders. I have also worked with couples from pre-marital counseling to infidelity and relationship issues. I work from a client-centered orientation, helping you become better versions of you.

My approach to counseling is holistic and based on the client's needs. I use methodology from humanistic psychology, person-centered therapy, psychodynamic theory and cognitive behavioral therapy. I help clients identify hidden strengths and discover obstacles to a more meaningful life. I work with the client on building an authentic therapeutic relationship where the client is seen as the expert in her/his own life. I do this in a compassionate, safe, and nonjudgmental process. I am effective in working with people who seek short-term, solution-focused therapy as well as longer-term therapeutic goals.

Sometimes internal and external pressure becomes too much to bear alone. In my practice as a Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor, my goal is to provide a contained space where you might begin to unburden and explore.

We all have problems, habits and "quirks" of personality and wonder sometimes when life gets rough, whether we need therapy or if it would be a good option. When life is getting on top of you, when you begin to feel strong emotions that you didn't know that you had, when you feel lost or hopeless or just want to reach your full potential, then give yourself a chance to seek a new solution. I can help. I believe that each individual is creative and unique and that there is no "one" way to be happy or live life.

Allow me to guide you on your road of progress not perfection! I help individuals, couples, and families discover they hold the necessary keys to unlock the door to every circumstance they encounter. It is my privilege and gift to empower people as they navigate their process of self-discovery. My areas of focus are marriage/couples, self-esteem/confidence, and anxiety.

So many things can pull us away from feeling fully alive and from having meaningful relationships, to ourselves and to others. I enjoy helping people strengthen their belief in themselves and become less alienated. Therapy with me is about bringing awareness to behavior and thought patterns that no longer serve you. Without recognition of these patterns it is impossible to make a conscious decision to be/do something new. You never know what's possible when you bring energy and imagination to the parts of your self that need attention.

Feeling stuck, out of sorts, off balance? Maybe you have an issue you'd like to tackle or have no idea why you are feeling this way. I believe you are the expert and view the counseling relationship as one of team work based in trust, understanding, support, and safety, allowing you to explore, define, and navigate life's challenges while developing and realizing goals for an authentic or improved life.

I have been working as a therapist for 20 years and believe the better we know ourselves the better decisions we are able to make. Informed decisions are directly related to overall life satisfaction. Psychotherapy is a tool that provides insight, support and a non-judgmental environment which allows you to become conscious of who you are, why you are struggling and how to heal in order to find what it is you truly want in your life. Therapy is a collaborative process and a relationship where trust is critical. Finding the "right therapist" is also a must. I provide free consultations to ensure a good fit for every client.
