I help people identify strengths and challenges, helping them move toward growth, understanding, and self-discovery. My goal is for clients to realize what they want to achieve by discovering their authentic selves and inner resources. This is achieved with a strength-based approach that is focused on a healthy balance between mind, body & and spirit. I utilize practical skills that clients can implement right away while also exploring past family/ relationship histories to understand the origins of challenges that clients are experiencing.

My primary goal is to help you take control of your life. I have been in practice for more than 25 years & I would love to help you build healthier relationships, repair broken ones, improve communication and intimacy. I have experience helping clients handle stress and heal from trauma. Research shows that much unhappiness, many symptoms of depression and anxiety (along with resentment and anger) can be reduced or alleviated. By understanding our past and acquiring effective skills we CAN change our life. We can't change our history or others. We can change how we see life, take control of our life and find peace and happiness.

I believe that we all have the desire to be the best versions of ourselves. The therapy room is the perfect location to find growth and acceptance. My style is warm, accepting and understanding, providing a safe space for learning. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families to assist them in finding their lost self. I find my niche is working with individuals who do not "believe" in therapy, especially males.

Intimate relationships are hard! Sometimes we feel disconnected and confused and no matter how hard we try, those feelings just don't go away. At times it becomes difficult to trust without becoming overwhelmed with anxiety. You wonder if s/he is cheating or planning on leaving, though you have no evidence of either. Maybe you feel s/he is too consumed by other areas in their life and have forgotten about you, which has you feeling lonely and questioning the relationship.

My approach to therapy is always centered around YOU. Sometimes we have trouble setting boundaries in relationships. Sometimes we enter stages of life that are more stressful than others, experiencing major life changes, both for the good and bad. Life is a journey, often filled with joy, but sometimes filled with sorrow and pain. I will walk beside you through your journey and help you navigate the road that can be curvy, unpredictable and confusing at times.

Most people looking for a therapist do so because they are in some level of pain or distress. An effective therapy process provides the space for transforming such difficulties into the capacity for better coping, more satisfying relationships, and a stronger sense of self. I have dedicated years of training and experience to help with issues of individual suffering and relationship conflicts. I focus on a clear understanding of problems presented, and offer a process of resolution. I believe a supportive therapeutic process is most effective, and I provide an empathic connection.
