The difference between a successful person and one who isn’t can simply be a function of having a personalized treatment plan or blueprint. My focus is on you and what I can do to assist you, to get you to where you want to be in life.

To be human is to experience great joy and great pain; sensitive people feel that pain on a deep level that can be overwhelming. Whether your pain stems from traumatic experiences, attachment wounds, or emotional needs that aren’t being met, therapy can help you sit with the pain while still building a meaningful and rich life. Therapy can help you claim your sensitivity for what it is--an exquisite gift to be honored instead of an overwhelming enemy.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. Our experiences in life although similar are still very individual and unique to each of us. It is normal to experience anxiety, fear, anger and sorrow however; when these emotions are extreme they can prevent us from being fully alive, spontaneous and joyful. It is during these times we may need assistance to better understand ourselves and make necessary changes. I commonly treat individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties that successfully resolve the issues causing these symptoms.

As a licensed psychotherapist, I wholeheartedly encourage women over 30 to actively consider seeking spiritual counseling. While it is important to acknowledge that each individual's journey is unique. In a world often marked by uncertainty and adversity, spiritual counseling equips women with valuable tools to build resilience and self-empowerment. By tapping into their spiritual resources, women can develop coping strategies, enhance their problem-solving skills, and foster a sense of inner strength. This enables them to overcome obstacles, embrace change, and lead fulfilling lives.

Combining a number of evidenced-based and complementary therapeutic approaches, I work with clients to achieve a greater sense of awareness, empowerment, and develop better solutions and strategies to resolve their intrapersonal and interpersonal issues and problems. I believe that, as people become more aware and accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding peace and contentment in their lives. Together we will work to identify goals, explore areas where you feel stuck or lost, approach it in a way that feels safe and manageable, and strive to improve resiliency, adaptability, assertiveness, and empowerment.

It is an honor to aid my clients in the journey inward that can help their inner & outer lives become/be rich and satisfying experiences of growth & discovery, that generate ever deepening self understanding, life satisfaction, & passionate engagement with life.
