I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with experience in the field of counseling and psychology for over 20 years. Are you feeling overwhelmed or stressed, and wished things were just a little different? I can provide a safe, warm and supportive environment where we can create meaningful solutions to your concerns through the therapeutic process.

How does your culture shape you as an individual? How does this affect your perception of the world and your relationships?

Do you feel lost or disconnected in a relationship, wondering how you arrived at this point and what to do about it? Are you feeling depressed, anxious, stressed or lonely and noticing that the ways in which you usually address these feelings no longer seem to be working? As an experienced and caring therapist, I will help you sort through the issues that limit your ability to more fully enjoy life. Together, we will focus on clearly identifying, thoroughly understanding and effectively managing the problematic areas of your life in a supportive, compassionate and direct manner that is focused on finding practical solutions.

My therapeutic style is grounded in a humanistic approach and Cognitive-Behavioral therapy with a pragmatic, down-to-earth style. Each client's therapy is individualized, collaborative, and strengths based. I help clients learn to regulate and manage feelings that overwhelm them and negatively affect their thoughts, moods, and attitudes that, in turn, lead to destructive behavior. Whether it is anxiety, depression, diminished self-esteem, or relationship issues, individual clients come to understand their present circumstances in light of their past. I am committed to helping clients improve relationships and gain self knowledge.

I specialize in adolescents and their families but see individuals as well. I am a highly professional therapist who's natural ability is to create a safe environment and accept my clients for who they are which has lead to most of my referrals coming from previous clients, friends and or colleagues.

Very often we find ourselves having the same arguments all the time in our personal relationships. Sometimes we get hurt like we have never been before and we can’t understand why it hurts so much. Old patterns and unresolved issues can keep us stuck in the same place at times. Never having learned healthy ways of communicating, we do not know how to get the results we want. So many of us go through these challenges at various stages of our lives, with work, personal and professional relationships and raising children. Some of these challenges can seem overwhelming and can drag us down.

You can have the relationship you have always wanted. You may find you've been having the same argument over and over. I help individuals, couples and families move from the frustration of feeling stuck to a sense of trust, security, safety and love. I also help people who have experienced trauma and abuse. You can begin living the life you want for yourself and your family.

Are you tired of rehearsing hurts, living in your past, and worrying about your future? Do you feel unworthy, maybe even hopeless, and you're filled with toxic thoughts that seem to be taking over your life?

If so, you are most likely experiencing stress in your relationships, with family, in your social life, at work, with your health, finances, and more DUE TO WRONG THOUGHTS.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples as they try to manage their relationships: preserving them, ending them or changing them.
