"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." C.S. Lewis

I bring extensive experience working with diverse populations, including individuals facing family dysfunction, attachment wounds, relationship challenges, codependency issues, depression, and anxiety. Overall, my approach is centered around fostering self-awareness, promoting personal growth, and empowering you to create meaningful and satisfying connections with yourself and others. I've worked with individuals, couples, and families to improve their lives and relationships. I have experience with and take special interest in working with the LGBTQ+ community, men, first-time therapy goers, and those with BPD traits.

As humans we can get caught up in being human doings instead of human BEINGS. This mindset can be invalidating, robotic and cause a disconnect between our heart and our minds. We can identify these traits and shift our perspectives by allowing ourselves the time and space to feel and heal. When we are validating, compassionate and kind to ourselves we can embrace our inner desires and experience deeper connections. Then, together, we can embrace the possibility of change and hope through therapeutic discussions and professional guidance. This degree of encouragement can be exactly what you may need to find your way in your journey.

My work as a therapist has focused on helping individuals with a variety of challenges, including recovery from alcohol and drug use, managing depression and anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, men's issues, and codependency among others.

As a person who struggles with day to day stress, you feel tired everyday. It seems you have tried everything but nothing works. Do you feel the same scene playing out in your life over and over again, but you have the inability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing intolerable feelings and even more consumed in trying to figure out why you feel this way? My belief is that trauma is the root cause. Most trauma generates from a past or current relationship and can be healed. Even the most severe trauma can be healed.

Adolescents, teens, and young adults struggling with trauma, environmental stressors, familial dysfunction, and relationship problems are my primary focus. They often require a significant amount of validation and support, someone to just listen to them, and help them to feel a human connection. Their goals would be to become autonomous and independent, while creating healthy boundaries with those they cherish and love, creating the ultimate goal of putting themselves first in a way that is not selfish, but also not selfless.

Are you trying to figure out how to make changes in yourself and in your life? Counseling is just a series of conversations with 3 basic parts. First is for you to identify what you want to change, then you will explore ways to make those changes. Finally there is the work of challenging some of your thinking habits and how to try new strategies. This can can lead to changes in your behavior. Rigid or inaccurate thoughts can limit your understanding of other people as well as yourself. As you progress you will likely feel much more hopeful and positive. These new skills can be used daily.
