My approach begins with offering you a safe, supportive space in which you can feel free to heal, grow, and evolve. By examining your life experiences, we can process your habitual reactions, limitations, and outdated stories that prevent you from feeling the full richness of life. Engaging your moment to moment experiences will allow you to develop a full appreciation of who you are, and move toward a life you want to live. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment that destroys feeling stuck and challenges anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship conflict, and childhood wounds.

My ideal client is someone who is looking for a safe place where they know they will be heard. Someone who is ready to take on their journey towards better mental health for themselves. They are seeking a therapist who won't just tell them what to do, but who will help them understand and learn how they can be the one in control of the battles they are facing. This client values a nonjudgemental space, sarcasm, and mutual respect.

I have openings now on Wednesday 9am to 4pm.... Therapy is about you. Therapy is about finding what makes you happy. Finding peace. Finding that place where you belong. Have you been wondering lately what went wrong? Why you are fine on the outside, but inside you can't shake this feeling of sadness, this worry, this constant regret. Painful thoughts and feelings whip through many people's minds. Most of us are so used to it, we start to think it's ordinary. But it's not. You don't need to go through life like that. Therapy can help you move forward.

Psychotherapy is a unique opportunity for clients to explore personal growth work, clarify goals, improve self esteem, reduce stress and better understand themselves and their relationships with others. For 25 years, I've provided counseling for children, adolescents and adults dealing with a range of personal, emotional and mental health issues. In a quiet, relaxed setting, I work with clients to develop effective communication, decision making and problem solving skills to deal with challenges they face. I incorporate extensive training in cognitive, behavioral, dialectical and family therapy as well as relaxing breathing, storytelling and metaphors to help clients achieve more balanced, fulfilling lives.

Life is something that is always throwing us curve balls! Regardless of what your life has thrown at you over the years, it is never too late or too early to start working on yourself. From work-life stressors to the loss of a loved one or even relationship concerns and anything in between are possible experiences that we can have. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to uncover underlying issues and develop practical strategies for growth and healing. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely.

Sometimes our lives can feel really hard. You wish things were different for you, sensing a huge gap between where your life is and where you want it to be. You are dealing with challenging situations, feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do next or how to manage. You feel lonely, sad, or anxious, and just don’t want to feel this way anymore. All of this leaves you feeling hopeless and in need of relief. It all just feels like too much sometimes and you desperately want to feel better.

I believe that each one of us knows exactly how to heal ourselves; however, the message gets lost inside ourselves for various reasons. I see my job as merely helping the individual attain the clarity to see for themselves the choices they've made. Once they understand the unconscious decisions that drive their behavior they can begin to make positive changes.
My style is very relaxed and interactive. I try to create an environment that feels nonjudgmental and safe; where the individual feels cared about, encouraged and empowered.
