I believe that we are all worthy of dignity, respect and love. This does not mean we have not suffered or experienced shame, guilt and loss-for things we have done and things that have been done to us. With you as the guide and me in a support role, I hope we can explore these issues so that healing and peace will occur. On this sometimes difficult and challenging journey, I hope we can get to work together to find resolution and understanding and come to the place where you are empowered to make new and healthier choices. I am currently unable to take on new clients at this time.

There are many reasons people seek counseling; regardless of the reasons, I believe an enhanced sense of self understanding and acceptance is essential in all situations. Adjustment disorders, anxiety, grief and depression are issues faced in today's society that make it difficult to feel happy and content with life. I am a psychotherapist with years of experience helping individuals overcome and manage difficult life transitions, career change, stress, anger problems, grief and loss, women's issues, self- harming behaviors and difficult adjustments to high school, college marriage, raising kids, retirement, and aging. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds.

Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of the darkness; it's the ability to sit present in the darkness knowing that the light will shine again. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to provide clients with a safe place to feel relaxed and able to speak freely and honestly. I'm there to motivate, engage and guide them. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered, problem solving and motivational techniques. I aim to provide an empathically supportive atmosphere, where clients can feel at ease, take a deep breath and begin to look at their life's problems from a fresh, new perspective.

Many of us experience problems in living from time to time, as we manage our intimate relationships, careers, children, financial burdens etc…. Often times, these problems can lead to feeling poorly about oneself or even to feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. Sometimes, these problems reach a magnitude where our level of distress or ability to function is affected. At these times, it can be very helpful to talk to a professional who can provide insight, support and perspective on these difficult issues. Although your issues may seem unmanageable to you now, with the right help, these problems can be overcome.
