If you are experiencing difficulties managing stress or anxiety, or often feeling down or lost; if you find yourself submerged in a stressful daily routine and feeling that at times it’s hard to find meaning in it; or if you find yourself awake at night thinking and thinking but still unsettled, maybe it is a good time to talk about what gets in your way. We can, together, figure out a plan to help you find your path and make you feel more grounded and at peace.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to work with me in order to achieve their goal.

I will always be honest in my assessments, and thoughts, and my hope would be that my client is as well.

Immediate Openings Available Going through a major life change? Struggling with the demands of today's fast pace lifestyle? Self care is one of the most important pieces of the world we live in today. It's easy to lose ourselves or pieces of ourselves and feel alone or lost. To me, this is where therapy comes in and can be part of your self care regime to help you learn, grow, and make lasting changes to help you navigate your life, and I am here to help.

Sometimes the hardest step to take in psychotherapy is the first one--making the decision that continuing to struggle with something all on your own just doesn't make sense any more. People are often grappling with issues for awhile: anxiety, depression, work-life balance, interpersonal relationships, loss of someone important to them, self-esteem. As the training director in a mental health center, one of the things that I tried to impart to student-clinicians is the primacy of the relationship-- that the most important factor in choosing a therapist is finding someone who they feel comfortable talking to.
