I’ve come to accept that during our lives, at some point (more accurately-multiple points), things will fall apart. At these crossroads, we have two options: let it sink and stunt us or courageously navigate through the challenging process of healing. I would argue that there is nothing more valuable than doing deep inner work that transforms our life for the better. I am a licensed professional counselor and work with adolescents and adults across the lifespan experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and self-esteem concerns, among many other difficulties.

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”-Pema Chodran. Everyone is in search of happiness. We all have a desire to be whole, healthy, and thriving. All of us face different challenges in this life, my goal is work collaboratively with you to help you create the life in which you want to live.Real transformation takes place in the pain or suffering and it is in this place that we are motivated to look for answers.

Often, life gets away from us before we realize how quickly things have changed. Life is a process of personal growth and evolution. It is also a process of building and maintaining relationships with people in a world that is constantly in flux. In my Individual Therapy and Family Therapy practice, I focus on partnering with you to explore challenges around interpersonal relationships, behavioral problems, sexual identity and behaviors, self-esteem, core beliefs/values, and many other aspects of life.

Anxiety tends to be exhausting and absolutely takes a toll on your self-esteem and zeal for life. You have hopes of a full life with an even fuller list of goals and anxiety seems to be standing in the way at every turn. You have reached a point where you recognize that you have no more time, energy, and emotional capacity to bear the burden of being anxious, afraid, and negative and now is the time to step up to the challenge of overcoming anxiety. Having worked with people from all over the world I have seen anxiety in its many forms and know first hand that it can be conquered.

I am dedicated to working with children, adolescents, and adults as they walk through life.

I want people to know that they are not alone, as well as to feel like they are heard and can be understood. I like to work from a holistic point of view by incorporating your mind, body and soul into the healing process. I want to help people take back control over their thoughts and help them to express themselves in a safe environment. I want to help people learn to love themselves again and feel a connection from the healing process. I believe that we were made to grow in life by working together and learning from one another.
