My approach to therapy is best described with this analogy: We are on a road trip, you are driving, and I have the map. There are many routes we can take to reach our destination and we will work together to determine which route is best for your journey. The most important aspect of therapy, is feeling comfortable and safe with the therapist you have chosen to work with. I feel honored to work with each and every person whose bravery brings them to my office.

Navigating life's transitions demands both resilience and a committed guide. With nearly two decades of experience as a counselor, I focus on helping individuals navigate difficult transitions. I perceive challenges—be it stress, anxiety, career transitions, or relationship troubles—not as barriers but as opportunities for growth. My experience is broad, from community agencies to educational settings, and extends internationally, including six years in Colombia working with intercultural couples/families and expatriates. These experiences have refined my ability to facilitate change across various cultural contexts.

My ideal client is seeking increased freedom to remove barriers to growth, and to work toward meeting self-identified goals while building on current strengths. Whether struggling with worrisome anxiety, feeling too depressed to enjoy, or behaving in ways that the client wants to change, I tend to take a person-centered, supportive approach to helping. Clients benefit from solution-focused approaches while increasing self-awareness to identify and use strengths, for greater ease of handling life's ups and downs, using clear, simple self-management tools and effective coping. I use psycho-education to ensure client's self-efficacy.

Hello there! I provide services for an array of various areas such as for individuals who are faced with identity crises or for those in need of emotional support; episodes of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger management and impulse control, unresolved childhood trauma for adults (sexual, emotional or physicial abuse) experiences. I provide an open and realistic view of therapeutic outcomes for my clients. I look forward to your call or email to see if I would best accommodate your needs. Clients have the flexibilty to be seen weekly, biweekly or monthly. Services are also offered on a sliding scale as needed.

As a therapist, I am deeply committed to providing person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and existential therapy approaches tailored to your unique needs and preferences. Your journey is paramount, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

My ideal client is someone with the passion to make their life better. They may have lived through trauma, are struggling with grief, and/or just need an empathetic ear.

I take a person centered approach when working with clients; you are the expert on your life and I am here to guide you to a place of healing. I help you regain your personal power and make sense of your life again. I use a combination of techniques and a nurturing approach to help you take ownership of your life. When working on trauma, I help you make peace with the past to stop allowing it to define your future. Life has a way of knocking us down, but remembering that we have the power to get back up is what makes all the difference.

Have you been feeling unlike yourself lately and yearning to get your enthusiasm back? Maybe you've been experiencing unexplainable mood swings or having a difficult time getting over that recent breakup. How about that feeling of overwhelm that resembles an elephant sitting on your chest? I provide individually-tailored treatments for those who are ready to be encouraged and empowered as they discover the head version of themselves as they make their mental health a priority.

Here’s a quick snapshot of what our experience will look like together: I use an existential lens in therapy, which means that I enjoy teaming up with a client to explore the patterns of their life. Your life patterns are unique, and your counseling experience should reflect that.
