My overall goal is to build a positive therapeutic relationship with my clients based on empathy and warmth, in a nonjudgmental environment. I provide individual psychotherapy and I also have experience with couples, family, and group therapy. Throughout my training, I had the opportunity to work with numerous clients from varying backgrounds, cultural experiences, and difficulties related to adjustment problems, depression, anxiety, relational problems, self-esteem, anger issues, trauma, bereavement, personality disorders, learning disabilities, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

When I imagine the “ideal client” I do not see a specific person. I see is someone who desires change and is willing to put in the work to attain it. I imagine someone who is willing to be vulnerable, open-minded, and trusting of the therapeutic process. This person understands that there will be hurdles along the way, but they recognize that they do not have to face those hurdles alone. It is my responsibility as a therapist to create an environment where all my clients feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I hope to get the chance to help those who allow me to do so.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. The most important component of my practice is to provide a straightforward, honest, and nonjudgmental experience that supports and encourages your personal growth. Researchers agree that building empathy in a therapeutic relationship is the best indicator for change and learning. My specialty is helping individuals find new ways of managing highly emotional and difficult transitions in order to gain insight that enables progress. Improvement can be expected in the following areas: relationships ,co-dependency, career concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma or abuse, chemical or alcohol dependency, parenting, self-esteem, self-destructive behaviors, and feelings of emptiness, hopelessness or disappointment.

I work with couples and individuals. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress/anxiety, self worth/love/acceptance, relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting, vocational stress, among other daily life stressors. Most of my clients define their reason for coming to therapy as simply wanting something more from life and relationships. Often having trouble getting past thoughts and emotions that prevent them from moving forward. We will work together to get to the core of your troubling thoughts, emotions and behaviors. This allows you to move forward to a more fulfilling life of purpose and direction.

I am ready to be a part of your journey toward complete wellness. I have responded to my call to bring hope, to encourage, to empower, to bind the broken-hearted, and to help liberate the mind. People are hurting, and they need hope. Sadly, there are many who are hurting because they have lost all hope. People need to be encouraged and know that they are not here by mistake. Those with no hope don’t understand that they have a purpose, and I have made it my mission to help bring hope to those that are hopeless. I understand the connection between mental/spiritual health and physical health.
