I appreciate how difficult and scary it can be reaching out for help, but you have already taken the first step by visiting my website. With my warm, non-judgmental and understanding approach, I will help you on your journey to understand the difficulties you are facing. I work with adults to successfully reduce stress, anxiety and depression; strengthen friendships and relationships at work and at home, resolve grief, past traumas, and internal conflict, modify negative thinking and self-destructive behaviors, build self-esteem, foster self-discovery, and help improve one's overall quality of life experiences.

Life is full of unexpected twist and turns, and everyone at one point in their lives will need to make tough decisions, deal with crisis, or struggle in some way. It is through these unexpected paths that we can learn to cope, grow and understand our life journey. Having a solid support system and developing an effective plan can make all the difference in the world!

How is your past showing up in your present? How are your perceptions of events and circumstances? How do you want to feel from the inside out? My passion lies in uncovering any experiences/stressors that has had an impact on your emotional, physical, mental well-being. I want to connect with you on your journey of healing, insight, and self-love. I strive for my clients to know they are enough just as they are.

Welcome! Do you know pain, anger, depression, frustration or anxiety and feel unable to make necessary changes? It takes courage to consider making changes. You have that courage or you wouldn't be looking at this page. My focus, in therapy, is to help resolve challenges, develop new coping skills and explore the possibility of greater life satisfaction. As a unique individual your therapy will be collaboratively developed to meet your needs.Through the therapy process, we understand and change our thoughts, perceptions, feelings, and behaviors to better achieve goals and work toward improving life satisfaction.

When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help. Perhaps your or your significant other's past and unresolved issues are what is creating the distress; an inability to trust, to feel joy and happiness, to pursue dreams. It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, individual therapy, or therapy for your teen, I can help you get on track to a healthier more fulfilling life.

Anxiety hurts. Whether it wakes you up in the morning and lingers all day or hits you like gang busters when you least expect it. Whether you know where it's coming from or not, anxiety tells you something is wrong and needs fixing. Anxiety is often tied to trauma and grief. You lose a person, relationship or perhaps a dream and you're left in a puddle of pain. Therapy is about working through grief and finding the courage to start again. You develop coping skills to feel better and communication skills to express your needs. You identify personal goals, and together, we chart your course toward your best and truest self.

The majority of difficulties we experience in our life probably have something to do with relationships. Either the relationship with ourselves, our family, our friends, our jobs, our environment, etc. We have a tendency, many times without knowing, to remake the type of relationships we experienced early in our lives. Therapy helps in shining some light into these type of patterns. We can play detective a bit. Figure out triggers, thoughts, feelings, behaviors; all surrounding the problem we are experiencing. The therapeutic relationship serves as a safe relationship to play out all the patterns and adopt new ones.
