Thank you for visiting my profile. I am passionate about helping teens and adults find and maintain balance in their lives. My practice is about enabling individuals to recognize and address the obstacles that are keeping them from finding that balance. I work with adolescents and adults. I am especially interested in helping adolescent girls develop the skills and confidence to face the ever increasing pressure in their "girl" world (social media, relational aggression, body image, etc.), in a positive way. Therapy dog available for those clients that wish to use as part of therapy.

My goal throughout our time together is to first create a space where the client feels comfortable and empowered to explore his/her emotions. In doing so, I help individuals identify the things that are most affecting their mental health and work collaboratively with clients to develop healthy habits that will positively affect one’s life. Sessions will include talk-therapy, reflection, and the development of healthy coping skills using a client-centered model. I hope to make each client feel as though their mental health is a priority and that they are worthy of clarity and happiness.

I believe that each person is born with incredible strengths that are sometimes buried through their interpretation of life events and personal struggles. We can become anxious, depressed, angry or overwhelmed, while dreaming of the way we really want to live and express ourselves. I can honestly say that each of you has the potential to uncover your true self; to find contentment, self-worth and self-growth. The journey can be rough, at times, but I would like to walk alongside the path with you as you re-discover your dynamic self and achieve your personal goals.

To be human is to feel great joy, as well as have times of pain. Sometimes along the way, we may need support to address and re-balance the difficult and joyful aspects of our daily life. I listen closely to the needs and experiences of each individual and support his or her unique ability to heal. I believe that each of us has the intrinsic capacity to recognize how to grow in a healthy way. My approach to treatment is grounded in the belief that each person possesses innate, inner resources that they can use to heal, grow, and thrive.

There can be times in our life where we feel stuck, or in a pit without a way out. This may be life's normal rhythm or could be unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, addictions, relationship conflict, or grief / loss. It's possible you do not even know why you feel stuck. Maybe you tried to climb out on your own, only to slip back deeper than before. In my 25 year career as a police officer, I have been where many of you are. I have now dedicated my life to helping individuals find the strength and resiliency to move towards healing. I can help you find your path forward as well.

Choosing the right therapist is at least as important as the decision to enter treatment. Self-disclosure and, ultimately change can only occur in an environment in which the patient feels respected, safe, and secure in both the therapist's sincerity and expertise. I bring the maturity, skill and compassion derived from 20+ years of providing therapy for depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, and relationship issues. I am committed to helping my patients recognize and change painful patterns that keep them from fully engaging in healthy relationships, or leave them mired in self-defeating thoughts and behaviors.

Hello and welcome! In my practice, I provide a supportive space for individuals from adolescence through adulthood. Life often hands us stress that over time, or rather abruptly, can disrupt our sense of calm. We can get stuck, lose track of who we are and what is important to us. By working together, we can explore individual needs, strengthen awareness, challenge obstacles, and build skills to promote wellbeing.
