As a licensed mental health counselor with over 16 years in the counseling field, I understand the importance of living a joyful life. I believe that the key to a successful therapeutic relationship is in the connection made. Finding a therapist you can connect with makes all of the difference in allowing you to open up and grow as a person. My hope is that I can connect with you and that we can work in a safe environment to help you deal with any issues in your life.

As a psychologist, I understand that looking for the right therapist can be daunting. By focusing on past events and their impact on your life, present issues can be better understood. My goal is to help you leave my office with a clearer understanding of yourself and better equipped to deal with life's challenges. I have received training in various treatment approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBT), psychodynamic psychotherapies, Trauma Focused Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and play therapy. In my approach, I keep the client's individual needs in mind, working in a safe and collaborative manner.

I believe in an approach to therapy that simply, "starts where the client is at." Therapy should be tailored to the individual. I believe in a well-rounded approach that considers the social, psychological and biological aspects of one's life. I feel that all too often society pathologizes the individual without taking into account the past and present environmental factors that have influenced where the person is today. I provide a safe, non-judgemental and caring atmosphere to help the individual examine where they are in life and where they would like to be.

Does life feel overwhelming and not how you imagined it would be? Do you feel like you are a human "doing" instead of a human "being"? Do you feel anxious or depressed, hoping that happiness will come when people or circumstances change? Ultimately, you are the only person who has the ability to make the changes necessary to find inner peace and balance in your life. Let's work together to identify your personal strengths and use them to move you toward the life you want to live. You do not have to feel "stuck" forever.

Making the decision to seek therapy can be challenging, but ultimately, the choice to do so represents courage, resiliency and a desire to create a more fulfilling life. I strive to provide a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment which is cultivated through a judgment-free zone.
