I believe that everyone should be able to live their lives to the fullest. For many, there is something that gets in the way. I would like the opportunity to help you learn how to create an adventure worth living. I have experience helping adults, adolescents, and children make changes in their lives. I like to find out my client's strengths and build off of that. Look, everyone struggles from time to time, but I'd like to see if I can help you change that. Let's see if we are a good fit.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner whose approach to therapy is individualized based on my clients' needs and personal background. I will establish a safe and secure therapeutic environment, free of judgement and pre-conceived notions. I strive to provide you with a therapeutic experience that is both genuine and provides unconditional acceptance to help gain your trust as I help you develop the skills needed to reach your goals and be successful in your therapeutic journey.

Is a change too frightening for you? When you realize that the things you've always done just aren't working anymore and a change is needed, it can be unnerving. A tiny pebble can cause a ripple that can alter a beach forever...a small shift in your life can cause a ripple that can create a life-long miracle. I can help. I have more than 30 years of experience guiding individuals and couples to seek the transformations they need to fulfill their lives.

Choosing to seek counseling can be overwhelming and it's often done at a difficult time. I strive provide a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for you to talk, learn about yourself and ultimately heal. Together we will decide what approach will work best for you and set achievable goals. My role is to support you as you figure out what's working, what isn't, and how you can get back on track.

With so many challenges that we face in life today, it can be easy to feel stuck. Finding peace may seem far out of reach. However, I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the trials of life. Therapy is a collaborative process, in which the therapist and client work together, building skills and working through issues, large or small.

Some people are fearful, uncertain, confused, confidence waning, having anger issues from somewhere at another time in one's past. Others get overwhelmed by life and one's role they play. There are no simple answers to these issues and at times it is difficult for an individual to overcome these challenges, but not impossible.

Most of the time we can manage the ups and downs of life without extra support. Then something shifts, and it can feel like it all collapses like a house of cards. Quickly, it can feel like you don't even recognize yourself anymore. None of the skills you were using to successfully manage your life work like they used to. You're overwhelmed and at a loss for how to get unstuck. At times even the seemingly tiniest of changes can shake us to our foundations, and leave us feeling adrift; but change is often the perfect opportunity to grow.

I provide a safe, neutral, and active role to help you identify issues and work through them in a supportive way. I like to employ a varied approach depending on client need and I tailor treatment to fit your personality and strengths. I believe that through difficult times big personal growth can occur, and that our difficulties can be taken as a call for change.

Is your child or teen getting on your last nerve? Are they defiant, angry, sad or withdrawn? Changes in the family structure, through a breakup, divorce, or death of a family member, often create confusion and unexpressed feelings in kids. Financial worries, relocating, peer pressure, violence, and other stressors at school and in the neighborhood, can lead to behavioral problems. Your child might have stopped opening up to you because they didn't want to worry you, or fear they'd be in trouble. I understand. I specialize in helping school-age children, teens, and their parents through challenging times.

Many of us encounter situations that impact our mental health and search for someone to collaborate with to improve our mental health. I offer such collaboration to help you find your own solutions and develop your own ability to make positive changes in your life. I also provide a supportive, outside perspective, and will introduce you to evidence-based practices from both Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help you become comfortable with emotions and examine automatic thoughts and core beliefs. I may also use Existential Therapy to help you find meaning and purpose and to develop value-driven goals.

Now accepting clients! If we do not author a love story with ourselves, we may never know the wounds of our own soul. In the safety net of therapy we can show up for ourselves, discover our inner world, learn why we do what we do. In the comfort of knowing ourselves, we find our true belonging. In this eventuality, in the fullness of time, we can belong in this world and show up for others without betraying ourselves. There is a wealth of love and freedom in this way of being. The process of therapy can navigate you towards your most cherished home, yourself. Our relational stories bloom from this place of abundance only.

Welcome to a space of strength and discovery, where your mental well-being takes center stage. Our sessions begin with a clear direction, "What goals are we tackling today?" or "What challenges are you ready to overcome?" These questions set the stage for our time together, balancing the pursuit of mental well-being with a compassionate approach to overcoming life's challenges."

I am a non-judgmental, supportive, and collaborative therapist that will work with you on your journey to a healthier and happier you!
