My approach is by use of empathy, strengths assessment, and supportive coaching, influenced by Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, and Family Systems Theories.
My focus in therapy revolves around relationships and support. The most important relationship I speak of is our relationship with ourselves. To be truly whole we benefit from a well developed relationship with ourselves to then be able to have good relationships with others. This comes from learning and honoring our strengths and our limitations. In fact, one's limitations can grow into strengths when addressed from a position of self-care

Let's face it. Life is a juggling act between home, work, school, friends and family. Our bodies are bioenergetic systems geared for balance. When things go well, our energy flows and we feel good. When life happens and stress occurs, we can feel anxiety, depression and physical pain. We reach outside ourselves for relief when going inside is the answer. If you are ready for change and are committed to making that happen, please make an appointment today. My approach is wholistic and I use Energy Psychology (Tapping), Zen Buddhism and Mindfulness to achieve a client's goals.

I am a licensed Psychologist and have been providing therapeutic services to adults, children, couples, and families for the past 10 years. Often, I find that clients are struggling to find the right tools for lasting change and are lost in their negative cycles. Individuals are painfully masking their feelings only to realize they are not meeting their full potential. Parents are challenged by their children's never ending emotional struggles that take over the family life. The tools they have are short lived and the emotional struggles persist. Clients are often looking for any sort of relief but unsure how to achieve it.
