In addition to conducting psychological evaluations, I specialize in providing individual psychotherapy to adults, college students, adolescents, and children.

Each person is on a unique life journey. We look forward to learning where you are on your journey and how we can help you create the life you desire. It is not about dwelling on the past but about using life lessons to move forward in a positive way. Even our most difficult life experiences bring us wisdom, character and integrity.

You've been in therapy before. While it was, hopefully, a positive experience, you keep finding yourself dealing with the same patterns and issues time and time again. You have insight into the "why" but seem to struggle with translating that to the more permanent changes you desire. You sense that there's a disconnect, and you're exactly right! No, it's not because you're a failure. It's because your system is working exactly how it is designed to, in favor of your survival, not in favor of your happiness. To truly address these issues, we need to employ a modality that can access the sub-cortical parts of the brain & body.

Everyone goes through challenges in their lives and they often arise without notice. It can be difficult to find the right therapist, but I am here to help you find the best way to navigate your journey.

Whether it be life transitions, trauma, grief/loss, depression, anxiety or other issues. I will work to assist you in managing some of the more complex issues of life.

I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment for you to explore personal issues, dilemmas, and concerns in a professional setting.

Therapy can be used to address problems as well as existential concerns, dreams, fears, and life transitions. I work with people of all races, sexual orientations, gender identities.

Life can be painful; we often lose sight of ourselves and the things that matter to us most while we try to manage our distress the best we can. As your therapist I will help you find your path to a fulfilling, authentic, and meaningful life, even when faced with the suffering that life undoubtedly brings. I believe therapy should be a safe and affirming space for you to explore the context of your troubles, recognize your strengths, and find a path to healing, connection, and value.

Life is hard enough. Don't do it alone. You're exhausted. You're tired of holding it all together. You feel like you just need space. You're feeling stuck. And maybe a little unsure about beginning counseling. I get it. I’ve been there. We all face challenges. The bottom line is you want to feel safe - and I WANT you to feel safe. That's why I work to provide safety and support so you can share your experiences with me without judgment. I believe there is often no more profound experience than being heard, understood, and accepted. So I will listen and accept who you are – always. Let's talk and work through the hard stuff together.

EVERY human deserves a place in which they can feel safe, un-judged, and respected. Within that safety comes true growth, understanding, realization and acceptance for yourself and your story. I hope to walk with you on your personal journey in finding the grace and compassion to find your authentic self.

It is my belief that we are all on a unique journey, and each person needs individualized therapy that is tailored to help them. I work with clients to develop, and reach desired goals.

I truly enjoy helping people. My approach to therapy is to help guide my clients to find the path that works best for them, so that they can reach their goals and feel accomplished and proud.

Hello. I realize change can be difficult. I also realize that without change it is often difficult to move forward to achieve our personal and professional goals. Many of us let our lack of motivation and negative thinking prevent us from these goals and feeling valued and happy.

If you’re ready to move forward and achieve better results from your life I am here to help.

***Not accepting clients***My primary modes of therapy include emotionally focused therapy, attachment therapy, narrative therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. It is important for me to be mindful of the uniqueness that each client brings and customize the therapeutic encounter based on what is needed. I know this may change from week to week and I strive to be flexible enough to follow the client while also providing a solid direction for change.

It’s not unusual to feel anxious or overwhelmed with the idea of not being where you want in life. You may be considering returning to school, or if you should leave a relationship or job. Maybe you just feel out of place in life. Making changes is not easy and can be intimidating, but luckily you do not have to do it by yourself. I believe that people have the ability to make changes they want with the right support systems in place. I can work with you to help make positive changes by increasing your support systems, self-esteem, and communication skills to help you face life changes or addiction, family and relationship issues.
