I am an experienced clinician with vast knowledge in many arenas in which you may find yourself involved or experiencing. I have worked within the several areas, which allows me to work with a lot of different and sometimes difficult situations. Several of those areas include the Department of Chiildren and Families, the Department of Juvenile Justice, as a vendor for Orange County Public Schools and the Ninth Judicial Court System and sports programs. Allowing someone to have the nonjudgemental platform of support, while empowering growth, is something that is very valuable.

Do you find yourself wondering how to explore the possibility of balancing life’s challenges in this fast-paced world? Is your teenager’s behavior spiraling out of control? Then you may want to schedule time for yourself or schedule sessions to help challenge your teenager’s maladaptive behaviors. My experiences with different types of populations has helped me provide those that see me for individual and family counseling sessions the appropriate amount of encouragement to help those to reflect and achieve their potential. I also completed training in dialectical behavioral therapy.

Life can seem like a barrage of stimuli hurling at us. This makes it difficult to listen quietly and to be led intuitively. How do You respond? We all react differently or sometimes even destructively, manifesting in attempts at control, or feeling insecure and compulsive. If one feels anxious, afraid, and uncertain while trying to do life, the struggle to figure things out can seem even less navigable. I seek to create a safe environment that allows people in pain, emotional paralysis, fear, self harm, sadness, etc... to experience hope and gain practical skills in order to navigate their lives with more savvy and confidence.

My approach is rooted in a holistic perspective, where I consider your interests and strengths beyond the symptoms you may be experiencing. I firmly believe that therapy should be individualized and collaborative, tailored to meet your unique needs. As a certified hypnotherapist, I leverage various techniques to ensure a personalized experience, including the application of interpersonal neurobiology. Therapy is a profoundly cathartic journey, one that may require us to confront challenging experiences and navigate through difficult emotions.

It’s a fact of life that we all struggle in one way or another: feeling stuck or as if life has been turned upside down. Maybe, feeling confused and afraid about the future. Overwhelmed with feelings of shame, loneliness and hopelessness. You wonder: Do I stay or leave this relationship? Where do I go from here? Perhaps, your childhood was lost to sexual abuse and you ponder if it's worth facing the pain. Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, divorce, relationship issues, infidelity, and life transitions are really holding you back. You want more from life. You want to regain a sense of purpose and peace but it seems elusive.

Hurting? In need of guidance and direction? In need of "real" therapy and "real" results or simply in need of counseling that works. For more than 26 years, I have had the opportunity to work with a multitude of cases and human behaviors that seek to hinder personal performance and individual capability. It is my desire to assist individuals, families, marriages and professionals holistically (physically, psychologically, emotionally, socially and spiritually) to achieve their GOD given potential.
