My goal as a clinical psychologist is to foster change by helping my clients to develop insight into their thought patterns and to understand how one's thinking impacts on behavior and current emotional functioning. Through the use of cognitive behavioral strategies, and exploration of current and past relationships, I work with my clients to help them develop the necessary tools and insight to improve their overall emotional health.

While on a life journey toward meaning & happiness, sometimes we need to sort through the issues that hold us back or are a heavy weight to carry. Therapy is a place to do that sorting: in a safe & trusting environment, we go through our traveler's bag, keep what's our strengths & passions, resolve the entangled conflicts, and maybe leave behind what no longer serves us within our hearts. I would love to be your guide in this journey. Follow us on Social Media- FB & at HopeAndHealingJourneys

Life is full of changes and challenges. Some are easier; some are harder. When life becomes difficult, we often turn to others for help. For many, therapy can provide the safe place to work on the harder issues. Therapy can offer the opportunity to discover more about yourself, who you are, what you want and how to get there. It takes courage to take the 1st step - to call someone you don't know and then share personal information. I believe that the relationship between you and your therapist has to be built on trust and respect. I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental and confidential place to begin the process.
