The road to a happier, healthier life can be riddled with obstacles and barriers that just seem impossible to overcome, but with the right support, people of all ages can reach their goals. On this journey, you've done the hardest part which is recognizing the need for support and seeking it!

Are you overwhelmed by the challenges of life? Are you feeling anxious, exhausted, or “not enough” as a parent, partner, or person? Are you not being seen or heard by others? If you’re feeling hopeless and out of ideas to make things better, it may be time to gain new perspective and skills with a professional. Using evidence-based approaches, I provide wraparound support for children, adolescents, adults , and families who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, developmental disorders, parenting issues, and relationship challenges.

We are simply living in uncertain times where our lives are being forced into a new way of being. At times, it seems we have few choices and possibilities which can lead to feelings of doubt, worry, intense sadness, restlessness, self-blame, frustration and/or a sense of not being fully alive. Simply said, feeling unhappy. Therapy/counseling offers an avenue to understand what is happening to us emotionally and provides an experience that can empower you to make choices about your life. It is a choice to find a way to come out of this period of time as a better version of our selves than we started.

Our greatest heart's desire is to be seen, to be heard and to be understood. We were never meant to handle life's struggles and issues alone. I am a Christian counselor who specializes in couples, adults , teens and children. I am here to support and challenge you by creating a space where you can tap into and discover your inner resources and solutions. I want to help you find your path--the path that encourages you to consider your choices. I am passionate about helping you improve your well-being and realize your full potential.

The potential for self-improvement and positive growth starts with our willingness to open ourselves to new possibilities. Certain life events sometimes lead us to seek professional help and finding the right therapist you can establish a positive rapport can be challenging. One of the unique attributes that clients say about me is the warmth, gentleness and genuineness of our therapeutic process coupled with an inviting approach to wellness. I believe a significant core element of counseling is the relationship that you and I build as we navigate and explore the challenges that limit or prevent you from meeting your personal objectives.

Notice an increase in anxiety, depression, and/or stress in recent years? Worried your anxiety has begun to affect self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, or overall enjoyment in life? Living with this is difficult and does not need to be managed alone. By offering a welcoming space and utilizing an individualized evidence-based approach I aim to help clients reach their personal goals. I utilize a strengths-based approach to empower clients to challenge negative self-talk, support emotional regulation, and develop healthy coping skills.

My therapeutic goals are twofold: remove symptoms and alleviate pain, while also facilitating exploration and clarification of ways to live positively and more fully in relation to self, others, and work. My psychology treatment plan is specialized to your individual goals and needs, varying in terms of time (short term and long term), modality (individual, couple, and family), and focus (cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, multicultural, mindfulness, and family/couples system). I utilize treatment interventions that are scientifically researched and found to be effective. In your first visit, we will set goals for treatment to ensure that you are not in therapy longer than is needed.

Do you find your self struggling in a transition period with life involving depression, anxiety and boundary setting ? Change and forgiveness go hand and hand. I will walk with you on this journey so you can gain the tools needed to attain the goals you set for yourself.

I specialize in working with adults dealing with internal conflicts. Struggling at work or in your relationship and unable to effectively communicate those feelings and needs? Adjusting to NYC or moving back to your home town? Confused about the path you chose? Is everyone around you getting married, having a baby or landing their dream job and can't make sense of all this? Comparing yourself to others on social media? Through exploration of your personal story, we can process, accept, and let go of unhealthy patterns. I have strong engagement skills, aware of how therapy feels.

There are days when everything can feel like an uphill battle. You seem to be stuck in a loop of personal conflict, constantly wishing for relief. At the end of the day, we all just want to feel confident, happy, and balanced. While life can be challenging, it can also be an opportunity for growth and hope. By talking to a therapist, you can gain a deeper understanding of your relationship with yourself as well as with others. It is a process that promotes lifelong wellness and gives you a sense of self-control. During sessions, I aim to provide you with the empathy and acknowledgment that you deserve.

When the burden of carrying trauma and stress becomes too much, people often feel like life is out of control. These periods of personal struggle can be an opportunity for growth and hope instead of continued hurt and personal crisis. Talking to a therapist offers an avenue to understand what is happening to you and your relationships (ie. with loved ones, friends, family, and of course yourself). It is an experience that can help you feel listened to, understood, and help you find solutions to improve how you feel and live.

I believe change is possible. I specialize in collaborating with adults and couples who are in the early stages of dating or those navigating transitions like cohabitation, becoming parents, and launching careers. As a therapist for teens, I work with parents and their teen to address emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. With adults , I focus on trauma, anxiety, and growth, drawing on Narrative Therapy to guide clients to identify their innate skills and values to overcome problem areas.

Do you feel confused, stuck, or overwhelmed by life? I welcome individuals, couples, and families to collaborate with me in exploring their purpose and finding peace in their daily lives and also resolution and acceptance of the past. My goal is to help my clients discover their inner strengths as they heal and transform their body, mind, and spirit.

We all want to feel confident, balanced and "happy." The reality is we get stuck, confused, and unsure at times. Soon the frustration, hurt, doubt, worry, sadness, self-blame, or loneliness settles in. We want to feel that we have a choice. A choice that will make things better whether it is for ourselves, our relationship, or our children. I am here to listen to you, support you and help you find the answers you need to create your path forward.

Are you stressed, stuck, and burned out? Are past events haunting you? Stress, depression, anxiety, relational issues, and life happens. When life gets tough, a therapist is a great resource for help and support. I hope you will let me be a part of your journey and allow me to assist you in overcoming mental health obstacles.

A personal time of crisis is another person's opportunity, especially given the unprecedented circumstance we all find ourselves coping with. For many of us prior to this crisis/opportunity we were unable to give attention to our emotional world whether it be due to time, energy, fear and/or self-doubt. Therapy offers an avenue to get to know ourselves in a different way than experienced before. I deeply believe our current crisis can be an opportunity for many of us to be one notch better than before.
