Finding the right therapist can be a difficult task. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. By listening to and understanding your needs, I will assist in navigating complex issues that are currently preventing you from reaching your goals/ideal self. I have extensive experience in treating adults, adolescents, and children in a variety of settings.

As a therapist focused on achieving real and lasting results, my goal is to help you uncover your potential and lead a life that is fulfilling, effective and happy. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life from the past and present. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will together change negative behavior patterns and negative beliefs that are holding you back from experiencing a fulfilling and meaningful life, and replace them with and results-oriented skills and tools that enable you to achieve your goals.

In my personal and professional experience a person comes to therapy when they find that their beliefs/operating systems are no longer working for them; that the very tools that they have been employing to protect themselves are now preventing them from having and experiencing the things that they want the most. Entering therapy is a courageous step that is prompted by the inner warrior. It is a step and a process that demands energy and perseverance. If and when you are feeling ready to take this step, give me a call and we can determine whether or not we are a fit. I think that you will find me to be a valuable co-explorer.
