*PLEASE EMAIL TO SCHEDULE AN APPT NOW* Do you ever wonder: How can I achieve true Balance and Growth? Why am I so dissatisfied with my job? Are my own issues interfering with my marriage or my ability to parent my difficult teen? What is holding me back from moving forward with my life? Or-do you feel like your marriage is failing? Do you have difficulty communicating with your spouse? Have your own children become out of control? Is it time to look at a career change?

My goal is to care for the whole person by teaching the individual coping skills to handle stressors caused by medically, mentally, or spiritually challenged life. Are your health issues or that of a loved one weighing you down and interfering with your relationships? You can have PEACE of mind and JOY even amid these challenges.

I make well-informed decisions about caring for my clients.

I love working with clients who are serious about getting better, willing to engage in introspection, attempt to display consistency, and who struggle with their self-esteem.

I work with those struggling with confidence/self-esteem/self-compassion, those interested in working on emotion identification and regulation, and those struggling with inattentiveness/focus difficulties. I help those who want to build up their coping skills toolkit. I am interested in working with those striving to identify and live aligned with their values and eager to engage in therapy. I am comfortable with people who might be the first generation willing to engage and trust the therapeutic relationship.
