People come to therapy because they want to feel better. It might be relationship problems or anxiety/depression, but whatever the reason, life has become uncomfortable or painful. Most people want more understanding of themselves and their situation. That being said, change is what we all seek in therapy. Making your life work better is the goal. I focus on altering self-defeating ways, gaining perspective, and increasing insight that leads to change. The result is an improved quality of life.

I work with clients who come to therapy with a wide range of issues to therapy, particularly those in the LGBTQ community. My experience has shown me that most people who come for therapy are often smarter than they think and braver than they can imagine. My role is as an a skilled and encouraging companion to help them recognize their own strength and wisdom. Clients who stay the course and work through the process, ultimately find their effort personally worthwhile. For a person to invite me to be part of a difficult time in their life is something i consider to be a privilege.

Are you struggling with life issues? Dealing with challenges in significant relationships? Stressed with demands of daily life? Fighting depression? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. At one time or another, we all struggle with some life circumstance or situation that finds us questioning where we are in our lives and where we are going. I'm glad that you've gotten this far in your search for meaning and satisfaction and I hope that you will soon be ready to take that next step of building a FRESH START in your life.

Experiencing sadness or anger or being easily frustrated sometimes necessitates getting help to resolve whatever is bothering us. Change is not always easy but may be necessary to have some peace of mind. Struggling with relationship problems, mood swings, or difficulty with ending a compulsive behavior pattern means we need assistance. Asking for help is the first hurdle. Throughout my life I encountered periods when I just could not see the forest for the trees, and I sought help to improve my awareness and coping skills. Sometimes finding out who we really are becomes a struggle; I can help with that too.

You've been going through it. Your partner, friends, and family see it too. You just want to move on with your life, but don’t know how. It happens to us all at some point, but you're still unsure about talking to someone. Going to therapy is a huge step for yourself because you've felt tired of be tired long enough. For me, the therapy experience goes best as a conversation between people as if over coffee or tea. If this sounds like you, it looks like you're up for a chat. I’m looking forward to joining your journey.

Life is hard. Unexpected things happen and we find ourselves in places we never could have imagined. Sometimes we cannot recognize the reflection in the mirror. Whether you're in crisis for the first time in your life, or looking to cope with what feels like merciless turmoil- we are here to help you sort it out. Our mission is to assist you in becoming the strongest version of yourself: who you truly are.

Life does not always go as planned. Bad things happen to good people, and good people sometimes make bad choices. People hurt people, experience loss and disappointment, and sometimes wake up living a life that feels foreign to them. In my role as a therapist, I have the opportunity to travel alongside others as they experience human struggle. I believe in the value of ALL people, regardless of age, gender, race, socioeconomic status, sexuality, religion, or life circumstance. I believe in the power of change in a person's life, and count it a privilege to be a part of that change.

It is a great honor to be chosen to work with people and witness their return to their wholeness and ability to reach their full potential after suffering with stress, anxiety and depression, personality disorders and relationship breakdowns. I specialize in Mindfulness Based Coaching, Counseling and Therapy. Neurological and clinical studies have proven the positive impact of Mindfulness in dealing with mental health suffering through reduced rumination, stress reduction, more cognitive flexibility, less emotional reactivity, increased focus and concentration. I provide quality client-centered services.

As children we create beliefs about ourselves and the world around us that are a result of our interactions with our environment, our heredity and, our relationships with others. Everyday we reinforce those beliefs by our assumptions and our interpretation of events, even though those beliefs may no longer be accurate, may cause us pain, and may negatively impact our ability to function at optimum potential. Counseling and hypnotherapy facilitate awareness, change, empowerment and growth.
