It's my job is to walk beside the client at their pace in order to see their world. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach in therapy means clients not only uncover insights about themselves but they also learn about changes needed to reach their desired goals. My clients leave with numerous tools to utilize throughout their lives. People are inspiring creations to me, I love working with people, regardless of their issues, and believe each of us has the power to shape our own future into whatever we desire. Personalized solutions are critical for the success of each individual, couple and family.

I believe each of my clients has the capacity to live a whole-hearted, fulfilling, and authentic life. Each of us struggles from time to time with obstacles that can make it difficult or even impossible to access that authenticity. As a counselor, I have the privilege of supporting my clients in identifying and then moving through these barriers in order to obtain positive health and well-being.

I believe the power to change, grow, and overcome obstacles lies within each one of us. Sometimes, for many different reasons, we need additional support to identify, and build on the strengths we have within us to accomplish what we want. I have 16 years of experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients as they accomplish their goals and overcome life stressors, depression, anxiety, grief and trauma.

I believe that everyone has an inner strength and that you are the "expert" of your life. We will work together to find and enhance your strengths and identify areas in your life that you would like to make changes.

The decision to seek counseling can be the first step toward personal growth and the relief of distress. Suffering is deeply personal and individual. You may be experiencing sadness and/or chronic worry that impacts your relationships and work.

I specialize in helping adults with depression, anxiety, compulsions and control issues, and grief and loss. My approach is a blend of humanistic, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness modalities.
