I respect the values and beliefs of my clients as I help them find solutions to life problems and work toward lasting happiness and stability. My training includes CBT, experiential and psychodynamic therapy, creativity coaching and hypnotherapy.

I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of treatment success. I provide a non-judgmental and open environment conducive to sharing and change, and work collaboratively with the client to meet his/her needs.

I have experience dealing with many different backgrounds and cultures, having worked in rehabilitation, and at various facilities such as developmental centers and correctional institutions.

Healing begins with both a collaborative and relational process. Through joint exploration, I assist my clients in helping them focus and create a more rich, full and meaningful life, while effectively trying to manage the stress and pain that life inevitably brings.

I believe in the power of building self-awareness and taking action. I am passionate about empowering my clients in making intentional choices to improve their overall wellness and quality of life.

Ultimately, I guide my clients to building resiliency, self-compassion, and adaptive skills to accept those challenges and pains which naturally come throughout life.
