YOU CAN BE HAPPY! Everyone experiences tough times at some point in their life and as a result may struggle with being healthy and may exhibit some type of negative behaviors, such as addiction, depression, anxiety, school or employment issues, self-sabotage, withdrawal and avoidance. With gentle guidance in a safe environment, you can find an emotional and mental balance and improve your daily functioning with continued progress and stability. We will work on identifying and changing dysfunctional behaviors and develop effective coping strategies to find harmony and peace in your life.
I have over 13 years working with individuals, couples and families to find strength and success in their life and relationships, in working through past trauma and managing crisis situations. I am a strengths-based, holistic therapist that focuses on the mind-body-spirit connection to incorporate balance in your physical, spiritual and emotional well-being.
I became a therapist because I believe we all deserve to find happiness and tranquility and I would love to help you in reaching your fullest potential. My approach is non-judgmental, empathetic and interpersonal. My goal is to help you understand yourself on a deeper level so you can identify a higher level of self awareness and make long-term changes.

I often utilize EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, to work through trauma and associated symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, etc. EFT tapping focuses on tapping the 12 meridian points of the body to relieve symptoms of a negative experience or emotion. EFT focuses on the meridian points to restore balance to your body's energy. I will teach you how to use this method outside of therapy also.
