Are you feeling like there is no hope, or were you told to just “learn to deal with life this way”? Are you searching for strength and purpose? Is the voice of fear drowning out the voice of confidence to make it through your problems?? When I look back on my biggest life struggles, including facing a diagnosis of cancer and permanent blindness, I realize counseling helped me find the strength to overcome. I want to teach others resilience and to give back through my profession. Let me now help you face your fears with strength and find happiness in your time of darkness!

I have been a therapist for 22 years and have worked in this field for 23 years. I have extensive experience in crisis intervention, depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress management. I want to help my clients develop self-awareness and coping skills for their challenges by utilizing their strengths and social supports. Clients must be motivated to get help so they can eventually help themselves. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Does it feel like you have outgrown who you used to be? Are you feeling stuck in your thoughts, behaviors or patterns? Do you feel hopeless, lonely, or lost? Are you seeking to know yourself better and live a happier & more fulfilling life? Therapy is a powerful place to explore new ways of understanding ourselves, how we show up in the world and how we relate to ourselves and those around us -- it is a space to pause, focus inward and explore our internal world.

I enjoy working with older teens (18 and up), adults, and couples. Common issues: Life transitions, grief, self-esteem, divorce, depression, anxiety, relationship/marital/family conflicts, infertility, spirituality/finding life purpose, work/life balance, perfectionism, career, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to help clients discover & develop their own talents and strengths regardless of their past, promote self-awareness and authenticity, and collaboratively assist them in achieving their therapeutic goals. I believe that YOU are the expert on your life, I am just here to help you along the way.
