I understand the apprehension in seeking therapy and counseling. I also understand the importance of obtaining therapy in a safe and non-judgmental environment. There are times when we all face a need to seek counsel and professional therapy with someone who is able to relate to your struggles. My clients are provided a safe and understanding environment; an environment where we are able to focus on "solutions". My experience includes working with children, teens and adolescents in the schools environment and in my private practice; teaching them positive coping skills to address anger management issues.

As psychologist, I try to approach you as a whole person in all your psychological and spiritual needs. If you have problems in living, may they be caused by mental illness or extreme stress; together, we will find solutions. I teach you to listen to yourself and use your resources to deal with the difficulties you encounter: like stress, loss, anxiety, worries, depression or hopelessness, and the psychological consequences of medical illness and disabilities. I believe that there is meaning in every life, that there is a worthwhile goal for everyone and that you can find it.

Ever find yourself yearning for a special place... a safe, comfortable, soothing space where you can feel free to let your guard down and express your inner most thoughts and feelings? My clients tell me I am "that place" for them. While helping you to express your thoughts, we will also be identifying patterns and themes in your thinking/behaving that may be leading to unhealthy assumptions about others and yourself, problems in your relationships and the sense that even though the people may be different you seem to be experiencing the same unfulfilling relationship, and problems in how you view yourself and the world.

Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the BRAVEST thing we will ever do -Brené Brown- Reaching out for help can be scary but I challenge you to take a step and start the work within. Most people struggle with change and return back to their old ways because it resonates comfort with familiarity. Change comes with uncertainty but I promise, if you commit and invest in yourself, you will not be disappointed with the outcome. Once you start seeing life from a new perspective, you will begin to feel and think differently. Remember, you are courageous. You are strong. Allow yourself the opportunity for growth.

If you’re feeling depleted, stuck, or unfulfilled, you are not alone. With the demands of showing up as a parent, significant other, friend, and employee, there’s no wonder the challenge it is to show up for yourself. Additionally, I believe that every person possesses the inner wisdom for healing and the power to reclaim agency over their experience. My role as a therapist is to provide an accepting space for this self-discovery, and to support you in learning the tools to cope with life on life’s terms.
