Each client is an individual with unique needs that includes the whole person: mind, body, and spirit—all of which is interconnected. Anxiety/depression: is it interfering with a sense of purpose, success, hope for your future, relationships, and your job? Grief/unexpected losses of a loved one—human or beloved animal friend—lingering too long, holding you back from moving forward? Older, unresolved traumas : triggered when least expected...are children angry, acting out as they carry old and new worries? My 30+yr previous career in nursing also provides understanding to chronic illnesses, or sheds light on needed medical referrals.

I work well with children, adolescents, and their families. My goal is to help individuals and families transform their lives into healthy productive individuals so that they can fulfill the plan meant for their lives, and to fulfill their destiny despite set backs or challenges that may get them off track.

Sometimes life can leave us feeling stuck professionally, spiritually and even emotionally. Most of us feel this way at some point in our lives and many times we're able to work through it and move on. Then there are moments when, no matter what you do, you can't seem to move on or shake that stuck feeling. That's where I can help. My goal is to help you get to the bottom of whatever it is that has you stuck and help you find your own inner strength to help you move on and grow.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families within a compassionate, supportive environment.

Therapy is a valuable tool that can assist you in solving problems, set goals and ensure you meet those goals, improve relationships and communication skills, understand emotions and the functions of emotions in your life.

To this end, I bring psychological knowledge, astute observational skills and a deep capacity for empathy to help individuals, couples and families grow and thrive.

I believe every person has the right to be heard fully and deeply, with understanding and without judgment. Whatever your difficulty, my first step will be to listen until we are both satisfied that I understand you, your problems, and your dreams. As you begin to listen to yourself with this same objectivity and compassion, you may begin to see the solutions on your own. Of course, with a trained ear, I will also be able to contribute insights and perspectives you may not have considered.

I have been in the psychology field for over 12 years now. I love what I do and helping every client become successful. The relationship between the client(s) and myself is important in achieving the goals we set together. How our past experiences have influenced our current lives is a key issue. I feel that support systems in our daily lives are important to examine. The issues of separation, loss, freedom, dependence and independence are crucial to examine as one leaves home and parental influences. I work with individuals, couples, teens and families. I also have a Real Estate license and can help clients through that process.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a core part of engaging in healthy life changes. Change is very difficult for most people and sometimes all it takes is to talk about your struggles and have someone to listen and try to understand. My belief is that the therapy relationship can help the healing process no matter what it is you are dealing with. The first step towards having a happy life is a healthy mind.

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Why is this happening? Is it always going to be like this? What can I do?” Do you feel anxious, sad or misunderstood more often than not? Maybe life seems easier and better for everyone around you. Maybe you're surrounded by people, but you feel alone. Your relationships feel like a struggle to maintain. Conflict and discomfort seem like the norm, not the exception. Sometimes it seems like it will never get better and no one understands.
