You dream of a calmer and fulfilled journey through your life. One where you can breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the benefits of your hard work. Taking a little extra time in the morning to enjoy a cup of coffee on your porch or seizing a special moment of your day. However, you find a contradiction in what your soul desires and in your actual life. You find yourself feeling busy, you barely have time to look up and often feel isolated and alone, as if no one quite understands your inner feelings of: anxiety, depression, sadness, trauma, relationship or self esteem concerns. When will your moment come to feel understood?

You are always on edge. The uneasiness leaves you feeling numb, irritable, and disconnected. You want to feel more at ease with yourself and in your relationships but worry and negative thoughts seem to always win. You feel trapped and cannot see a way out, which is causing you to feel hopeless. You're ready to do whatever it takes to invite in the calm and balance you've been craving but you want to ensure you work with a therapist who gets you and knows the skills to help you start feeling better as quickly as possible.

Are you here because you feel overwhelmed, stuck, and often at odds with yourself? Because – despite feeling desperate to feel something different – you find yourself in the same old patterns? Replaying painful memories, worries & harsh self-talk? Maybe people, even therapists, have commented on your self-awareness. But that doesn't seem to translate to feeling better. Maybe you've tried breathwork or yoga and they helped. But you can't shake the feeling that there's more to explore on your healing path. I'm here for folks looking to heed that wild call to look inward.

I believe that relationships that work for the individuals involved are part of the key to a happy and healthy life. I believe that relationships can be rewarding, enriching, and even healing to their members. I have experienced this personally and witnessed it professionally and am committed to share my knowledge with others who desire the same.

I believe a trusting relationship between counselor and client is important. I am comfortable working with individuals from diverse cultures and lifestyles and feel being accepting, objective, respectful, and genuine are essential characteristics for working with clients. My goal for the counseling process is to help clients gain personal insight, knowledge and tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after therapy has ended. As your counselor I do not have the answers to your dilemmas, instead I function as a facilitator of the process that will assist you with discovering your own solutions.

Imagine the perfect day, blue skies and the warmth of the sun, cascading across your shoulders. You breathe in the fresh air and feel a weight has been released as you exhale. This is the day you have been waiting for, a day worthy of smiling, a day dedicated just to you. You have identified your triggers and are learning to cope with your: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns or physical pain getting in the way of you leading your best, authentic life. Time seems slower and you feel more present and are mindful of the importance of the present moment.

I believe that the process a perspective client goes through to not only identify the right therapist for them, but also develop a therapeutic relationship, is daunting and difficult. Because of this, I strive to provide a psycho-therapeutic environment that is uniquely collaborative. My approach to psychotherapy reflects the individuality of the client, and also provides an opportunity to identify core difficulties, discover a means of overcoming them, and work towards a deeper self-understanding. I focus on depression, anxiety, trauma resolution, anger, substance abuse, family discord, job stress, and problems of adolescence.

No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel like your taking one step back. You’re a high performer with perfectionism tendencies and always put on a smile, which helps you forget your pain. You feel you will never be fully happy and never be able to fully enjoy life how others do, because of your many losses, attributing to your decreased self esteem. You may keep friends and family at a distance, to protect yourself from yet another inevitable loss. You may have stopped exercising and taking care of yourself the way you used to, since it takes too much work and you're just surviving at the end of another long day.
