I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples overcome challenges, improve their relationships, and achieve lasting, significant change. Within a compassionate environment, I guide clients through life's transitions, offering essential support, coping mechanisms, and a secure environment to examine emotions and objectives. Recognizing the distinctiveness of each person's journey, we can collaboratively move through these changes with resilience, grace and a bit of humor. I tailor sessions to meet the needs of the individual to help achieve desired goals empathizing present-moment awareness, non-judgment, self-compassion.

Throughout our lives, we face a barrage of challenges and sometimes they can compound, especially when they connect to how we were raised. These times can make us feel like we're pulled in too many directions, or like we're "stuck in a hole". If you're here now and exploring a way to seek answers/solutions, I want to congratulate you for taking the first and hardest step forward. I've worked with a broad spectrum of clients to aid in managing their current distress in the present while attending to resolving the past.

Allowing curiosity and constructive self-reflection to occur—we uncover and integrate one’s authentic truth. This creates a bedrock for lasting & effective healing and transformation. Become unstuck. Become self-empowered.

Life transitions can be an overwhelming experience. Changes within relationships, school/ work positions; shifts in family systems, i.e. a new child or struggling marriage; or managing stress involved with parenting/ care-taking. Transitions may lead one to feel unprepared, discouraged, or unheard. With personal experience, in addition to working in the field of mental health and addiction, I have worked to help individuals in navigating through these changes. My hope is to provide support to you/ the family in establishing a better understanding of one's needs, as well as identifying personal and interpersonal struggles.

I am a practical clinician who draws from an array of psychological approaches to assist my patients in achieving their goals. In addition to being practical, my therapeutic approach is aimed at understanding and integrating the dissonant thoughts and feelings at the core of most problems. I employ a focused and systematic method to identify the barriers to an individual's development and bring about change through an understanding and relinquishing of old models of coping. I am also able to utilize psychological measures of personality and aptitude to assist my clients in making decisions about their treatment and goals.

Beginning your therapy journey can make you feel vulnerable and exposed which is why I believe finding a therapist you can truly connect with is crucial to your well-being and growth, just like other relationships in our lives. We all have individual strengths, challenges, cultures, and experiences that have formed our multifaceted identities. These dynamics influence how we interact with ourselves and others in our daily lives and continue to shape us throughout life transitions.
