Hello! I'm so glad we've crossed paths. I wholeheartedly believe you have the answers you need within. Often, though, our experiences have left us with constant thoughts that doubt, shame, & judge us. It gets confusing what to believe. Together, we’ll get to know & understand the cause of your struggles & work towards healing so you learn to love, trust & show up for yourself. Then you're able to show up how you want in relationships, at work & in life. I commit to being fully present & compassionate with you every step along the way. Let's do this! Healing is 100% possible.

The focus of therapy is to identify early life influences and learned behaviors that lead to problems. Behaviors include: anger, physical/emotional/sexual abuse. In addition, relationship conflict, anxiety/depression, moods, drug/alcohol/compulsive behaviors. The sub conscious mind is programed from infancy with positive & negative beliefs & destructive coping skills, programmed survival skills. We identify old habits/behaviors/poor coping strategies. We work to replace self destructive habits/behaviors with pro social behaviors. Anxiety & Depression are relieved.

I am pleased that you have selected me in your mental health journey. I have focused my social work career in joining with individuals to support the changes they wish to see in their life. During your journey in therapy I can promise you will be respected, valued & listened to in a safe, caring environment that will offer honesty & compassion. We will start by identifying what has brought you to therapy and what outcomes you are hoping for. From there we will make a road map on how to achieve what you are wanting. I look forward to partnering with you as you engage in therapy.

At times an individual may want extra support to talk about and or explore areas in their life that are causing stress: It can lead to anxiety, depression, mood changes, substance use, compulsive behaviors, and anger. If anyone of these emotional or behavioral issues become significant it can affect relationships, education, finances or day to day functioning. In session, the individual will examine past, present and future experiences that impact thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. There are appropriate and inappropriate ways to better cope with stressors in our life and in session the client will examine which strategies work best.

I am an interested, active listener offering feedback and understanding in a nonjudgemental manner so that we can explore together the possibilities for change. I work cooperatively with the client to develop their goals thru problem solving. I believe our work together will provide solutions that can relieve stress and confusion.

I specialize in treating fellow doctors, lawyers or high-net worth individuals who require a therapist that can match their intellect and caliber. I understand how big law, three-letter government agencies and academia works – so you won’t have to waste time getting me up to speed.
