We all have areas where we want to improve and better ourselves. As a therapist, I am honored to help others find those areas where they are experiencing distress or discomfort, and then identify the barriers to change.

All of us have found ourselves at some point feeling stuck - wanting our story to look different, but without the toolsexperiences to make that happen.

Understanding that what happens to us impacts our mind and our body, I individualize treatment which addresses mind, body and experiences.

I am a proponent of the strengths philosophy, which emphasizes an individual's ability to draw upon inherent abilities and strengths to overcome challenges and obstacles.

Life, at all stages, presents times and circumstances when ourselves and our relationships cause us to struggle. We can find ourselves depressed and anxious, feeling confused and unheard, misunderstood and unsupported, perhaps in regard to our family, our peer groups, our work, our intimate relationships: It is in times such as these, I can, with empathy and compassion, provide you solid professional help and guidance, and so much more. It is often the case, that communication skills and the wisdom of a person with a life long-lived, are the starting place for finding oneself, improving life skills and relationships.

Life experiences can sometimes leave us feeling as though we are presented with something too challenging or difficult to face. We can feel lost, overwhelmed, and unsure. So we can turn to coping mechanisms that might help us in the moment but aren't realistic long-term. Everyone needs help from time to time. I believe in empowering my clients to gain the tools and self-awareness they need in order to achieve more peace and serenity in their lives.
