Deciding to engage in therapy is an exercise in confidence and vulnerability. Working with me will be a collaboration based on a trusting, authentic and genuine relationship. My aim is to understand my clients as individuals in all their complexity as well as the social and cultural context they are embedded in. I will leverage my training and skills for the benefit of each particular individual.

I am committed and passionate about my work in helping others reach their full potential. I am trained to work with couples, families and individuals. I have experience in helping couples work through issues of infidelity, betrayal, intimacy, conflict resolution, and family/ life stage transitions. I believe in the power of all relationships and how it affects the quality of our lives. When working with individuals I use a systemic lens, in which I see the individual in the context of their relationships, major life events, ethnicity, race, culture, religion & sexuality.

Not currently accepting new clients. "The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new" [Socrates] My approach is to help individuals achieve their goals and overcome any obstacles that may be hindering their ability to live the happiest version of themselves. I believe an important step in this process is developing and maintaining a genuine relationship with the client, as well as providing a warm and safe environment. I also believe in the importance of focusing on an individual's strengths and attributes while identifying goals in order to grow and improve oneself.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have over 17 years of experience working in a variety of settings that include group programs, therapeutic foster care, residential programming, crisis management, therapeutic schooling, and private practice. My experience focuses on developing prosocial behavior, identifying adaptive coping skills, utilizing feeling identification, and implementing stress/anger management techniques. While working with clients, I take a collaborative approach that builds on strengths to help move toward goals and alleviate stress/strong negative emotions.

Not Accepting New Clients At This Time - I recognize it can feel overwhelming, maybe even a little scary, to search for a therapist at a time when you are struggling. I can assure you, with my experience and empathetic presence, I do my best to make the process feel seamless and welcoming. I have extensive experience working with children, young adults, families, and couples. I work full-time as a school-based therapist working with children and families navigating mental health diagnoses and challenging life circumstances. I welcome you to bring your challenges into my therapy room so that you don't have to navigate them alone.

You don't want to be in therapy forever, but something has to change. Maybe you want to get back to feeling like your old self, or you want people to see who you really are? Maybe you need to decide whether to stay or leave a relationship? When everything you're doing has led to the same results, when you feel like you’re communicating how you feel and asking for what you need but the situation does not seem to get better, it can feel frustrating and overwhelming. I can help you find ways to take control so that you can feel better, and improve your relationships with other people.

As individuals, we balance multiple hats which can be stressful. My goal is to provide you with the tools needed to effectively cope with life stressors. we are also faced with challenges at times that make us feel hopeless and helpless. Changing our mind frame can assist us with confronting those challenges. I will be happy to help you tap into your resourceful side to recognize and appreciate your strength.
