I believe in a collaborative process of discovery in a space where clients feel safe and heard. We will work together to identify your strengths. As you gain insight into the causes behind whatever is keeping you from living your best life, we will work together to develop concrete problem-solving skills and to identify and cultivate appropriate coping skills. I am empathetic and direct. I place an emphasis on the importance of self-care and encourage clients of all ages to incorporate it into their daily lives.

This is a very tough time for all of us - individually, as couples, and as families. We are all trying our best to cope with these difficult times, but sometimes it feels like too much to handle on our own. It can also be difficult to ask for help, or you might have tried therapy before and it didn’t work out. If either of these sound familiar to you, you are not alone. It is important that you find someone with whom you, and your partner and/or family members ALL, feel comfortable. I approach all of my clients with empathy, acceptance and respect.

You struggle building friendships. Maybe it's because you have ADHD, Autism, or another social learning difference, or perhaps your anxiety just gets in the way. You feel that when you're interacting, things seem awkward. You realize that after a conversation, you think about what you just said, and it repeatedly plays in your mind. Your parents are stumped on how to help you. They've tried everything from workbooks to making you try out for a team or activity you hate! You're constantly feeling like you're on the verge of losing control. You wish you knew how to make connections, but the truth is, it's hard, and you don't know how.

Ever wonder how you got to this point? We all have expectations on what we thought life would be like. Sometimes the decisions we make and must face can be overwhelming and life changing. For many, the decision to enter therapy is one of the hardest. However, you are not alone. Trusting a professional to help you through this difficult time may be scary and intimidating. I have had the pleasure of supporting children, teens and adults. That being said, working together to help get you through whatever challenges you are going through is my top priority.

We seek psychological guidance when life doesn't go the way we think it should or want. Sadness, fear, anxiety, anger and confusion, often cloud our hearts and minds. We tell ourselves what should be, not how it is. This build-up of unsaid feelings, pressures and negative thoughts, commonly experienced as self-judgment, keeps us from living a joyful, balanced life. The Individual and Group therapies I've designed are dedicated toward mindful awareness of, and ease with life's daily challenges. I seek to create safety and freedom for exploration of your unique truth in body, mind and soul.

Change is never easy. Using a psychodynamic and humanistic approach in my career, I’ve regularly experienced how transformative self-discovery and introspection can be; and I believe everyone has the innate ability to carry out change in their own lives to gain clarity and recovery through that same process. For sixteen years, as a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor, I worked with clients individually and in group sessions from culturally diverse backgrounds. In 2022, I also had the great experience of providing direct counseling services to middle and high school students at the Renaissance Charter School.

Reaching out for help takes strength and courage. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive environment for those working toward a life of positive growth and change. Life is filled with uncertainties, and uncertainties can bring fear. My clients come to me when they're feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or struggling with their relationship with food and body image. After our work together, my clients are able to adequately use coping skills to remain present, navigate intrusive thoughts, and find peace with food, as well as with their body.
