I believe that everyone has present inside of them the ability to significantly improve their life. My goal is to help empower you to believe in yourself and teach you to implement the tools necessary to achieve your goals. While we can't change the past, we can work to understand and resolve current challenges. We will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions, and replace them with healthy cognitive and behavioral skills which emphasize strength and resiliency. This will enable you to move forward in a positive manner, thus improving your overall sense of self, relationships, and satisfaction in life.

One of the most important aspects in therapy is for patients to feel heard, respected, and understood. Given that each individual is unique, and no one issue is ever the same among different people, my approach is integrative and tailored to meet the needs of the person, not the "problem". I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgemental environment for patients to learn, grow, explore, challenge, and to live the life they want to be living. I specialize in working with adults - individual, couples, and family - with anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, relationship problems, substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, and LGBTQ issues.

I deeply value the trust that my clients offer me, our work, and themselves by showing up to therapy to find meaning, deeper integration and understanding of their life experience. I work with folks who crave more meaningful relationships or purposeful careers or seek more ease and calm overall. I'm grateful to have been in practice for 20 years, and during that time have come to appreciate the unique and personal journey for each of us to endeavor to find wholeness, contentment, and joy. I'm empathetic, kind, and also truthful. I'm here to guide you to the answers that best serve you, not to give advice or pass judgment.

Therapy is for everyone. Some attend due to symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other specific disorders; others seek help when experiencing social, familial, academic, or occupational difficulties; and still others pursue therapy to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their purpose. While the path of every individual is unique, all can benefit from feeling seen, heard, understood, and validated; along with learning healthy coping mechanisms; developing communication and problem-solving skills to successfully address present and future challenges; and accomplishing objectives on the path to achieving self-actualization.

I have helped numerous patients in the past 25 years overcome major hurdles emotionally and spiritually, helping them discover for themselves who God has truly meant them to be. Living with depression, anxiety, fear, inhibitions, low-self esteem, relationship problems or the like -- your suffering should not be ignored. Life was not meant to be lived in part, but rather in fullness. My interest is in dealing with the deeper issues that underlie problems so that life can be lived in fullness rather than confusion, frustration and regret.

Many of the clients I work worth identify as high-functioning on the outside, but internally exhausted, isolated, and stuck. Anyone can get caught in a rut and wrapped up in patterns we can’t see. We all have the innate capacity to heal and feel whole, but it’s difficult and frustrating to work on self-repair when you aren’t even sure what needs healing.

My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

Throughout our lives, we all have experienced feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger. These emotions leave you feeling insecure, shameful, lonely, unworthy and stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Trauma can have negative emotional and physical effects and can lead to family/relationship issues. I specialize in solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and CBT. These approaches allow me to work with the client to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression and other health/behavioral issues.

When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. Trauma can also profoundly affect whether we feel this is a safe world and can contribute to depression, anxiety, and relational/familial issues. My practice is from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective with a non-judgmental framework. I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.
