At one point or another, life can get difficult & painful, for everyone. I specialize in helping people navigate their way through the challenges we all face that can make things seem so overwhelming. I believe that the therapeutic process is a valuable tool that creates positive change in a client's life; from finding relief from depression, anxiety, and anger to developing coping skills and making life decisions. My approach to treatment is eclectic, allowing me to customize treatment for each client's unique needs & goals. My therapeutic style includes creativity, humor & support.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had such an enormous impact on how we live our daily lives. In my experience throughout this time, not only are we faced with horrendous grief and loss to the virus, many of the underlying mental health issues that were present prior to the pandemic, have now risen to the surface and been causing all sorts of havoc. If you are experiencing increased anxiety, depression, struggling with financial hardship, substance abuse or coping with past trauma, therapy is a place to start on the road to learning to cope with this life we are given and this situation we have been forced to persevere through.

Making the decision to seek therapy, takes large amount of inner strength. Strengths in which we will build on by working to find appropriate coping strategies and solutions to issues you are experiencing. This is done in a warm and caring space where you are free to share your experiences, thoughts, and feelings without judgement.

Are you in a state of fear and worry due to the uncertainty of the current pandemic? Are transitions such as too much time at home, loss of your usual coping strategies, or changes in routine stressing you out? Or have you been considering therapy for a while and now is the perfect time? I specialize in anxiety management and trauma therapy and can help! I strive to provide you with strategies and tools to help you begin seeing the changes you desire in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. I understand that seeking therapy is a challenging and courageous step for anyone to take. I am offering online sessions to start your journey now.

**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** My goal is to empower you to make the changes necessary to improve your overall quality of life. My hope is to create healthier individuals, families, and communities through prevention, intervention, quality treatment, and recovery support. I have spent the last 10 years working at an internationally recognized company that has earned a reputation for excellence in the treatment of adults with substance use. I also help people struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, relationships, grief, and more.

Getting started in a therapy takes a great deal of courage. Whatever the reasons that brought you here I am confident that we will work through them together. Therefore, my intention will be to help guide you through the process of self-realization, self-improvement, and strive for the greatest degree of balance possible in your life. My combined life and professional experience will allow me to work closely with you to identify the issue, as specifically as possible, the solution to that problem, and what is really getting in the way of you reaching that solution.

I AM ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS, in this time of COVID-19, I am CONDUCTING SESSIONS BY PHONE only. In terms of technique, it is my practice to invite you to think out loud about yourself---letting your mind wander in whatever way is natural to you. I will follow, raising questions and helping you gain perspective on your worries. We will put our heads together, you and I, for your benefit. This process takes time as the limits of yourself expand and you discover your creative ability to solve problems and enjoy life.

Does fear or worry stop you from really enjoying your life? Do you frequently feel a sense of anxiety or dread in your body for no apparent reason? Are you suffering with panic attacks and maybe even avoid going places out of fear that you might have one? You may find you have "what if" thinking which triggers scary sensations in your body. Maybe you have been told to just get over it. As if it were that easy. It's time for you to feel better and re-claim your life.

“I can’t sleep because I can’t shut my mind off”… “I’m just existing, I don’t enjoy anything anymore”…“I keep getting into bad relationships”…“anxiety is affecting my work”… Perhaps you can relate to above statements or know someone who can. When people struggle with depression, anxiety, life challenges, stress, or relationship problems, it can be difficult to know how to begin making changes for the better and it's never easy to do it on your own. You are not alone! I'm here to help create the changes needed to achieve the best balance and greatest degree of happiness possible in your life.

My strength base is client centered therapy. I believe that it is important that the client knows that they play an important role in their recovery. Their feelings and attitudes are a big part to therapy. It is important for both client and counselor to achieve a therapeutic relationship for a successful outcome. I will help clients set goals that are realistic and achievable with treatment. I believe that a strong client/counselor relationship is the groundwork to the healing process. I will create a positive, no judgment and stress-free environment, where the client is able to share openly and expect the best treatment.

Are you longing for greater joy? Happier relationships? Is your marriage or relationship feeling more challenging than you can sometimes bear? Are you needing more support or are you contemplating a change in your life? I would like to be of help. I work as an individual therapist and specialize in couples and marriage counseling. I am excited to help you facilitate greater harmony, peace and happiness in all your relationships. I am passionate about helping couples communicate and showing them that more romance will return, sex can be satisfying, and they can achieve safety and intimacy in their relationships.

Are there times in your life when you find yourself reaching for a life goal and just can't seem to get there? You know something is in the way, but you just can't put your finger on what it is. Perhaps you're feeling down and just can't motivate yourself to do much of anything. Or you have lots of energy but you just get sidetracked all the time and just can't seem to focus. Or maybe there's conflict with a spouse, a family member, or a close friend. Whatever the reason, psychotherapy can uncover the mystery so you can live your life in your most productive, satisfying, and gratifying way.

If you are anxious or depressed, I can help. It is not easy trying to cope with sad or worried feelings on your own. Together we will explore your unique feelings, understand your conflicts, and strengthen your relationships with others. I offer a caring, empathetic and respectful approach to this process. Psychotherapy can alleviate anxiety and depression and improve your quality of life. I work with teenagers, adults and couples.

Hello and welcome to my practice! Do you need help with anxiety and depression? Do you have relationships you would like to mend? Are there career and personal goals you would like to achieve? I can help you with all of these challenges. You can have a life that is peaceful, joyful, and productive. As a therapist and professional coach, I partner with adults, teens, couples, and families in achieving personal goals, conquering fears, and developing skills. I use a wellness model along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), coaching, and solution-focused techniques.

When individuals experience trauma or significant life stressors, it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed or as though things are coming apart at the seams. My passion is to assist people in feeling a little less overwhelmed and in becoming a little more put back together each week. I work with children, adults, couples, and families who wish to move toward feeling content, whole, and safe- both within themselves and with each other.
