Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. Mental health is rarely a linear path and too often we feel like progress needs to be measured in the here and now. I enjoy working with clients that are seeking to address areas in their life that they are struggling with. The client I tend to work best with is someone who is willing to look at their life with an open mind and a willingness to work on asserting more control in their journey. I am inclusive of all and pass no judgement as all of us need a space to safely explore our needs.

My ideal client has a desire to commit to creating change and willing to be vulnerable throughout the therapeutic process. Clients who struggle with intimacy struggles and mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and stress are both great focuses in my practice. My client's desire to be in happy and healthy relationships is what I like to foster.

Choosing the right therapist can be a difficult decision; especially when they're working so closely with you or your child. You want someone who listens, understands and hears your concerns but is also supportive and nurturing. Let me begin by stating that I provide a safe environment where I incorporate empathy, encouragement, and laughter as part of the therapy process. But most importantly I believe in building a relationship with every person is the key to the healing process.

You may be going through a difficult time in your life right now. It may be dealing with a pressure-filled job, an unsatisfying relationship, or a difficult living situation. Perhaps you are dealing with anxiety and depression that have been going on for years. Maybe you've even tried counseling before, but did not find it to be very helpful (it seemed like mostly just having someone listen to you!). Now you are ready to move your life to the next level and try something different. This is where I step in.

I trust that a successful relationship between counselor and client is based on mutual trust and respect. I believe that optimal wellness is achieved by caring for the whole person; mental, emotional and physical. I collaborate with other mental health and medical professionals to help meet the needs of my clients.

I strive to create an environment where you can explore, engage, and rewrite your life-script. We all live from our own unique scripts, the stories we tell ourselves everyday about who we are, where we come from, and what we're capable of. Sometimes these scripts trap us in behaviors and states of mind that harm us and keep us from living a rich life. In counseling, we engage these bad scripts, whether they are anxiety, depression, addiction, relational issues, shame, family issues, or others. My job is to give you the resources to rewrite these bad scripts and live from new, healthy ones. Change is possible. Help is available.
