Accepting clients in Florida and Georgia (Telehealth only) In this ever changing complex world, life brings challenges and distractions. Make yourself a priority and allow me to listen and support you as you are walking your "becoming" journey. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, having relationship difficulties or parenting skills challenges I am here to heal, recover and grow with you. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual and so, my aim is to use evidence-based, person-centered and trauma focused approach as techniques in a safe and empathetic space. So let's begin!

Right now you’re struggling to find purpose in your daily life — feeling overwhelmed by grief or other role demands. You need a warm, safe environment to explore patterns that are holding you back and find ways of moving forward. While it’s easier to hide from what is causing you pain, by taking action now you will begin to understand who you are and what you want out of life. Regardless if you are a student, a stay-at-home mom, professional, or retired— you will learn new ways to cope with life — but most importantly learn to make positive changes toward greater life balance and acceptance, while creating meaning.

In spite of your best efforts, life can sometimes overwhelm you. Whether problems are recent or longstanding, I can help. My 27 years in the profession has afforded me knowledge and experience with a broad range of issues. My practice emphasizes the resolution to everyday problems. We will explore obstacles to growth and development and uncover inner strengths that can be applied to personal and professional relationships. I value psychotherapy as a growth- producing process. Out of this you will learn a great deal about yourself which you can use to make your life more meaningful.

Bad habits do not form from fully bad intentions. I believe that most people do the best that they can with what they have available to them at the time. As a result, I often see people stuck in self-destructive or harmful patterns that they themselves don't know how they got there. Change begins when we start to have the feeling that these old patterns and ways of being are no longer working for us in the way that they used to. The feeling that something has to change, and maybe feeling lost or defeated in how to make a meaningful change, may have been what lead you here.
