Bridging the potential within, along with opening our hearts and minds to all of life's possibilities is the underlying focus of my practice. I believe that therapy is a collaborative one with the client in which strengths within are identified, and assistance is given to help the person find their own inner solutions. Optimal growth and change is achieved by identifying and breaking down those obstacles that stand in the way of a persons true happiness and potential.

My approach to therapy centers around the belief that every individual has inherent dignity, and is worthy to be seen, heard, and cared for. Anyone is welcome into my office. Every life experience is unique, and often these experiences can carry specific hurts, pains and sorrows. When life feels overwhelmingly challenging and burdensome, counseling can be a wonderful mechanism to assist in times of need. I believe that peace and joy are possible, and that no story is hopeless, because no story is done being written.

If you’re someone who feels like anxiety is taking control of your life—impacting your relationships, work, and overall well-being—you are not alone (I've personally been there!). Anxiety can manifest in many forms, whether it’s a persistent sense of worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, or even physical symptoms like restlessness or difficulty sleeping. For many, anxiety becomes a constant companion of what-if thoughts, making it difficult to enjoy life or feel at ease. The good news about anxiety (what?!) is that it's treatable- research shows therapy can be just as effective as medication for anxiety symptoms.

Therapy doesn't have to be what you see in the movies. As a therapist who understands that the typical approach to therapy can feel intimidating, I strive to create an impactful and enjoyable experience. My goal is to make sessions feel less clinical and more like a collaborative experience towards enhancing overall well-being or goals. By drawing from an eclectic approach, together we will create a therapeutic space that is unique to you or your family. I approach therapy from an open and curious perspective to see each client and their experiences as a whole.

Society is unforgiving and relentless, making it difficult for men and women alike to navigate their roles. Men often struggle to be themselves, fearing the label of being oppressive. Women find it challenging to recognize their worth and incorporate positive influences into their lives. Families strive to connect, yet often lack the skills to communicate effectively with their spouses or children. In these trying times, help is essential to overcome both psychological and spiritual struggles.

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.

My desire is to help my clients learn to listen to themselves so that they can engage in work and relationships from a place of calm, confident knowing. I believe we all have the capacity to do this, but there are parts of us that keep us from living the way we want to live, deep down. These “parts” might have developed from prior relational or family dysfunction, big “T’ and little “t” trauma, and the aftermath of such experiences. My passion is to work with clients to identify the parts that, despite their best efforts, block us from experiencing internal peace and full connection with ourselves and with others.
