Time and Again ...we give our best efforts to rediscovering the marvelous qualities common to the early stages of falling in love and to evoking the richer dimensions of family life, and yet... We end up ...confused and disappointed, broken-hearted, enraged and ready to quit. Why? Because ...few of us were taught how to cultivate the emotional resources and practical skills for negotiating the daily complexities of living and loving. But the art of living --like all art--requires skill, discipline and persistence. Individuals and families who take this path do so because their love for whom they love demands it.

Life can be stressful and unpredictable. I seek to provide counseling to individuals, couples, and families who are looking for support in their times of need. We each have stories that our minds create in order to make sense of things. These stories speak to our identities, abilities, competencies, actions, relationships, achievements, fears and failures. I wish to hear the life narratives that my clients are struggling with and assist them in constructing new positive stories about themselves and the struggles they are facing.

I work with people that are ready to take control of their mental health, experience relief, and build resilience. My treatment philosophy is "together, forward" and I prioritize establishing trust, safety, and belonging in the therapeutic relationship so clients can work to neutralize emotional pain, transform negative thoughts into an empowering growth mindset, and replace problematic reactions with healthy skills. I believe treatment should be goal-oriented, time-limited, and cost-effective and my clients can expect to develop specific goals, regularly track progress, and train outside of session to ensure therapy is working.
