**IT IS MORE EFFICIENT TO CONTACT ME BY EMAIL AT THIS TIME.** Many challenges may arise in life. It can be made easier if you have a comfortable atmosphere to share & express yourself. You come to therapy to face hard truths & learn better ways to handle them. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same patterns, having the same interactions, or feeling a certain way about yourself. I balance truth & tact, giving genuine feedback. I listen & support without judgment. I have a passion for helping individuals & families cope with difficulties in their lives. My desire is to help clients experience healing & life change.

The basis of my practice is rooted in the promise of hope.

My goal is to be a helper that provides a safe place to begin to move toward positive change. I partner well with individuals and couples who are tired of dealing with dysfunction and are motivated to work toward being a better version of themselves.

Learn in a nurturing therapeutic environment, discover tools for self-development and gain pragmatic skills to enhance the fullness of your life.

It is with your full potential in mind that I choose to incorporate not only "talk therapy", but also integrative depth psychological practices such as dream work into the clinical setting.

It doesn't have to be this way. Allow me to help you free yourself of your internal struggles so you can reveal your true potential, and live a more fulfilled and complete life. Through my compassionate, empathic, and non-judgmental approach, I can help you to uncover your true value and the life you deserve to be living.

Living with anxiety and depression is like walking around with a rain cloud of negative thoughts over your head at all times. When your mind gets caught in this downward spiral, it feels impossible to climb out. It may have even started affecting your normal day-to-day life – in school, work, or even your relationships. The feelings of agitation, tension, worthlessness, and guilt prohibit you from moving forward, accomplishing tasks, and being at your best. Often times, you may even wonder if you’ll ever be your “best” again, or if this path of darkness is your new normal. As a therapist, I am here to help you reclaim your life.

Looking for that space is a big step. I'm here to create that space with you.
