It is my personal belief, that at the core of our being, we crave meaningful relationships and a purpose in life.
I believe each individual is the expert in their own life and once we can grasp this concept, real change and growth can occur. It is my belief that as a therapist, I have the opportunity to empower individuals to realize their own strengths and abilities to accomplish their goals and find well-being. I feel the therapeutic relationship, and the trust and empathy in that relationship, is one of the most important factors when it comes to working with clients on their self-understanding and change.

It is natural to experience pain as well as joy during life. It is not, however, natural to remain in a state of suffering. I believe we are meant to live happy, joyful lives within a background of inner peace. Sometimes life's circumstances throw us off balance and professional help is needed to find our way back. That's what I do, that's my purpose, to help others regain, or possibly even discover for the first time that life is not to be feared or dreaded because of hurtful emotions.

I believe in a collaborative approach to psychotherapy focusing on clients' current needs and goals. Together we work to solve troublesome situational or long-standing problems leading to living one's best life now. Using client-centered methods, we begin with each individual's unique point of view to address a range of problems such as depression/anxiety, life crisis/life stage, relationships, parenting, trauma resolution/post trauma (PTSD) and provide understanding. Relationship issues are often at the heart of the matter and the opportunity is provided here to focus and improve upon them in a safe and confidential setting.

At times we need an outside perspective, and maybe just someone to listen to us, when life seems hard or complicated. My counseling style is warm, friendly, and, above all, genuine. I use a holistic/integrative therapy approach; in order to tailor treatment to each client's needs, I tend to pull from various tenets and modalities of evidence-based therapies. I focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and understand the mind-body connection; I am also trained in EMDR for trauma treatment.

Often people come to me when they are wanting their lives to change, but they are unsure how or where to begin. I am very passionate about helping people transform their relationships, their careers, and their habits to create a more meaningful and intentional life. My ideal client would be someone who is motivated to change and is open to feedback and different perspectives. Most of my clients goals are to reduce depression, reduce anxiety, increase self esteem, reduce people pleasing tendencies, learn how to set boundaries, and process past trauma. I also have a lot of experience helping women leave toxic or abusive relationships.

My goal is to empower you to create a life worth living by uncovering your strengths which will cultivate the confidence needed to effectively engage anything life may bring.
My approach to therapy begins with a belief that we are all wired for connection. Connection happens when we are heard and understood in relationship to others. I engage our work through compassion, curiosity, humor, perspective, and honesty. I believe that creating a space to slow down and tune into our emotions, beliefs, and responses is a primary way to heal, grow, and authentically relate to others. My passion in counseling is to create a relationship built on safety, trust, and hope, where people feel accepted and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. .

As each individual does his or her own work to create a life of emotional harmony and a more peaceful and healthy Self; this work you do assists all of humanity to create a more peaceful and healthier place.
Do you, a child, or adolescent that you know start your day already stressed wondering what the day will bring or wishing things could be better. I've been there, many people have been there: struggling or attempting to cope and adjust to various of life’s stressors: trauma, loss and grief, anxiety, depression, or behavioral problems. The exciting part is that you, the child, and adolescent that you know all have the tools and wisdom within to make the shift toward a better tomorrow. People sometimes need assistance, support, guidance, and a bit more strength and courage to tap into this inner wisdom

As your counselor, my goal is to help you uncover repressed, misplaced potential to lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life today.

Life can be enjoyable and it can also be a challenge.
Are you tired of feeling this way yet?! Anxious, unhappy, edgy, unsatisfied...maybe alone. Have you not been yourself and you can't stand it anymore. Fighting with your partner constantly, the kids are starting to notice, and you aren't spending enough time taking care of yourself. Your relationships are suffering. Please don't wait until things get even worse. Like a car, a therapy "tune up" will get you back on track before the engine blows! If you are tired of how things are going and committed to improvement, it's time to do something.
