Are you hurting so much that you're wondering if living is really worth all this pain? It hurts so bad that it feels physical; you can feel it in your gut. You don't let those closest to you know what's going on because no one gets it; no one can help. Sometimes you feel completely out of place, like you don't belong here. Everything hurts so much and you can't stand it anymore. You keep looking for ways to take it all away. You don't deserve to hurt like this anymore. And you don't have to. It's time to take control of your emotions so your emotions stop controlling you.

Are you tired of feeling like you’re barely surviving each day? I help those who are tired, frustrated, and hurting learn to heal and thrive. The world can be traumatizing at times, and we may sometimes get tired and want to give up. There is hope! I believe we each have what we need inside of us to live the life we imagined; sometimes we just need a little help.

In a time of uncertainty, I would love to provide you with a Sure Space in order to help navigate the growing mental health struggles that people are facing today. Finding a therapist can be an overwhelming experience and I pride myself in making the process seamless for each individual. I have extensive experience in working with those who face a variety of issues including Sports performance, life transitions, anxiety, depressed mood, financial illiteracy, and attachment related concerns.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 25 years. I provide a nurturing environment where we can safely explore difficult issues. I have a highly interactive approach and believe that the best results come from a strong therapeutic relationship. Many of the people I work with are the "walking wounded" - 'regular folks' feeling that they are not dealing well with the stresses of everyday life. Other people I work with have a history of chronic mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and bi-polar disorder.

In today's current health and social climate, it can be easy to fall in a space of uncertainty or disconnection. If you are searching for a safe place for self-expression, interested in developing ways to envelope peace within and outside of self, and are motivated to create change in your life, this may be the stop for you you. My therapeutic approach is integrative, incorporating humanistic and behavioral modalities with a high emphasis on goal-oriented practices in the therapeutic process. An ideal client shares a holistic view of therapy that focuses on their strengths and introspective reflection of growth.

My best guess is you’re here checking out potential therapists because you’re feeling a bit stuck; you’re ready for something new, or maybe you’re just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. There are infinite reasons why individuals might seek out counseling and therapy services.  However, there is often a thread of “feeling stuck” or a sense of discomfort as a response to a stressful situation. Perhaps you are going through a difficult time in your life or maybe you’ve noticed a pattern of behavior that you would like to explore further.  Whatever the reason, I’m here to help.

Traditionally trained in psychodynamic and CBT. However, clients who are open to an overarching paradigm of spiritual/energy concepts have proven to benefit the most from CognoSpiritual Psychotherapy which I developed to address clinical issues, e.g., anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and other psychological/emotional issues associated with living and working in this world. A fundamental assumption of the paradigm is that "God" is spirit/energy in All things, people, situations (omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent energy), not limited to man-made divisions of faith and practice.

If you want to be a less angry father to your wife and children, I’m here for you. If you are dissatisfied with your current lot in life, let’s work together to move you to a place of prosperity and inner peace. Are you contemplating getting married, but you’re not sure if this is the right decision for your life? Let’s talk about it so you can gain the clarity you need to make a wise decision.

I believe therapy should be tailored as a unique experience to fit the client, just as each client is unique. I see the process of therapy as holding a safe and sacred space, where a therapeutic alliance is built between client and therapist, enabling clients to express themselves authentically, share their struggles, create goals, and overcome obstacles; leading each person to be the best version of themselves. As a therapist, I strive to be there each step of the way providing competence, support, and encouragement, to not only overcome obstacles, but to also find meaning in the journey.
