"Asking for help can be difficult. We often think "I should be able to handle my problems myself". However, everyone needs support at some point in their lives. A major crisis, a life transition, loss, job stress, relationship problems, emotional needs, our past interfering with our present, or everyday stressors become too much to deal with alone. We forget our strengths and become isolated, depressed, angry, or make poor choices."

"I believe that most people at some time can benefit from talking with a professional about emotional problems that they are encountering, although many persons I see worry that there is something "wrong" with them and feel they should be able to improve their situations thembselves. Difficulties in relationships, problems concerning work or recovering from bad experiences can be painful parts of life and talking about them can hasten change and improvement. As we develop a relationship with one another and reflect about the problems together, over time, I have found that people discover new ways of meeting the challenges that brought them to me."

"My approach to therapy is holistic - the perspective that the physical, emotional, social and spiritual realms of our lives interconnect. This leads me to focus on the whole person, rather than on a specific diagnosis. My goal is to help my clients take personal responsibility for their own growth, by actively pursuing more positive thoughts, attitudes and behaviors - so they can move on with their lives, rather than remaining stuck in their problems. I use an eclectic blend of supportive, cognitive-behavioral, and existential theories. I'm also certified in EMDR, addictions and Repair and Reattachment Grief Therapy."

"I work with a variety of clients, but my areas of focus include anxiety, depression, post-partum issues, self-esteem issues, family/intimate relationships, trauma, and spirituality. "

"A good therapist listens first and makes us feel comfortable enough to open up. I have a firm commitment to accepting my clients as they are from the beginning.

"I believe that everyone has the potential to grow and learn. Friends and family are great support at times, but sometimes people can benefit from more. I often tell people therapy is a little bit like having a coach. It is someone to set goals with, someone to hold you accountable, someone to cheer you on and help you navigate the road map of life. It is my goal to help you get on the track that is best suited for you and your family, and come up with a plan to help you stay the course!"
