"Let's face it: We have ALL experienced some type of negative situation in our lives.

Regardless of the circumstances, my goal is to walk with you through these difficult times and assist you with discovering healthy coping skills and maintaining a positive lifestyle."

My role as your therapist is to help you regain control of your life, rekindle the love and connection with yourself, and discover what you are wanting out of your future.

"Are you engaging in life the way you had hoped? Do you desire more from your relationships? Are attempts at communicating what you need ineffective? Do you find yourself in constant overwhelm, fighting with your partner, or feeling alone and confused? Whether it's every day stress, a traumatic experience, or feeling disconnected; I'm here to tell you there's hope. In therapy I aim to address the underlying issues related to current life difficulties, rather than just treating the symptoms."

"My areas of focus are: traumatic experiences and PTSD, adoption & foster care, couple & family life challenges, Depression, drug and alcohol problems, LGBT youth and families, ADHD, parenting enhancement, Learning Disabilities, Anxiety Disorders, adolescent issues, subtle neuropsychological issues, Mood Disorders, youth and the criminal justice system, and CPS involvement with families.

Connecting with a therapist you trust and feel safe with is important.I believe we all are inherently valuable and born with an innate potential for growth, and like a seed when it gets all of the nourishment it needs it can bloom and flourish.

"You may be experiencing confusion or frustration because your current relationships are consistently challenging, or you may feel stuck in patterns of behavior that limit your ability to achieve your goals. It has been my experience that even though you may not feel like it right now, every experience - whether joyful or painful - has the potential to contribute to the richness of life and can be deeply transformational. My hope is to work together and to build a relationship built on mutual trust and respect where these experiences can be explored."

"In times of stress, we tend to forget that healing comes from the inside out! Major changes such as marital conflict, divorce, dementia in a loved one, anxiety, or depression may give more questions than answers. Depth psychology provides deeper understanding of your life. Often solutions are crying out from your own heart if only someone would listen. I will listen and together we will find strategies, resources, and solutions so that you have the life and relationships you want. I offer years of experience working with children and adolescents, families, and crisis intervention. Call for free consultation."

"I believe that all individuals, couples and families are capable of working towards positive change. I respect and appreciate the unique nature of my clients' circumstances in life. As a therapist, I bring a very creative approach into the sessions. In the first session with clients, a unique plan of development begins to emerge."

"Sometimes life does not go the way that you plan it and that can cause a series of emotions. Therapy can help you process those emotions and be a guide as you work to obtain your life goals. From day-to-day transitional issues that cause depression, self-esteem, and anxiety issues to larger transitional issues like grieving the death of a loved one or deciding on a major life change, I will be a guide as you make the changes you want in your life. My ideal clients have acknowledged that they have an issue and have the desire to be the change they want to see and heal. "

"Do you want more ease, clarity, connection, or happiness in your life and relationships? If so, I can help. We live in a culture that tells us to pull ourselves up by the ‘ol bootstraps when we’re having a hard time – but it’s not possible to self-care our way to feeling better. I work with individuals and couples who want to experience more fulfillment, satisfaction, meaning, and pleasure in the relationships they have with themselves, and with each other. It is a gift for me to participate in a process that allows people to meet their true selves for the first time, or to mend painful old wounds through healthier relationships."
