Stress comes in many shades, regardless of what we face, with no discrepancies of importance, changing how we feel begins with changing our perspective. I aim to guide you through these life challenges and rebuild the mindset that these negative encounters have influenced.

When we're struggling, it can take us away from the “now” and keep us stuck in a cycle. We will work together to get to the root of the problem and identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that have been holding you back from the life you want. We will learn to identify and reframe thought processes to inspire change in feelings and behaviors. Pain and suffering is inevitable in life, and it does not need to hold you back. We will learn to both make room for pain, and engage in behaviors toward your values. Ultimately, you will learn how to be comfortable being uncomfortable while challenging yourself to live a fulfilling life.

Your life may seems like it's going okay but you feel like you're putting on an act or simply going through the motions. You’re doing your best to be a good parent, partner, friend, child, student, or employee but you end up feeling like you could do more. At times, you're dealing with automatic, restless thoughts that reminds you of the things you have not done or simply criticizing everything. You may see changes in your sleeping patterns and eating habits. It could be hard to see the beauty around you, leaving you feeling weary, overwhelmed, numb, angry, or stuck. Change is possible, one step at a time.

I use a multifaceted approach and will help you determine where you are located on the mental health map. By incorporating evidence-based research my goal will be to evaluate your specific results and progress while making every effort to provide clinical recommendations to encourage you to take control of your life. This is achieved by focusing on one thing at a time to reach achievable short-term and lifetime goals. Please note that this may include a lifestyle change to break any unhealthy learned behavior patterns. The focus is to evaluate your mental health and spiritual needs and approach this in a holistic way.

I believe that making the change you desire in your life is possible.

Thank you for viewing my profile! Taking the first step and contacting a therapist can be intimidating and takes courage. Therapy looks different for every person, couple, or family seeking treatment. I am an experienced, skilled, caring therapist who works with adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families.I strive to meet people where they are at, from a non-judementaly standpoint. I believe that all people have a right to determine their own path to fulfillment and it is a great priviledge and responsibility of mine to help.

The first step towards change begins with seeking support outside yourself. It is a daunting and frightening choice for many. The relief from sharing whatever you are struggling with can bring tremendous and sometimes immediate relief. It is the first bridge towards change. Being at peace with yourself is an important part of healing and growth. I am a dedicated and conscientious professional and will respond promptly to anyone who seeks help.

I love the work that I do because I understand how important emotional and mental health are in the life of every individual. In my practice I strive to provide each client with a safe place to explore their thoughts and feelings, as well as their experiences and behaviors. Together, you and I will begin to explore what in your life is creating barriers. Step by step we will create goals to help you begin to thrive. Working with clients at various stages of life and personal growth has taught me that we all want to feel respected and understood, and that it is never too late to make your happiness a priority.

Sometimes life can get difficult or overwhelming, and it is during those times that reaching out to someone who is understanding and supportive can help get us back on track. I've had the privilege of being that someone to many people throughout the past 20 years. I have extensive experience and education in the field of therapeutic counseling, helping others to overcome the mental and emotional difficulties that hold them back from reaching their goals. I love working together with my clients, building a relationship in which they feel safe to talk about their deepest cares and concerns.

I am a psychotherapist that utilizes a systemic and humanistic approach when working with my clients. My areas of expertise include relationship issues, sex therapy, mood and anxiety disorders, depression, perinatal and women's health, and major life transitions. I work with individuals and couples; both monogamous and non-monogamous.

Change is a natural part of life. When we realize that change is not something to be feared, we can embrace it through the difficulties and use it to create a life with a more meaningful purpose. The secret of living successfully is learning to handle the unexpected circumstances that life can bring.

If there was one thing I wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, it would that be that what you are feeling is totally normal! Therapy is a process, not a quick fix. It is an opportunity to connect to what shapes our lives and the lens we see the world and ourselves. One’s family, culture, society, media, among many other factors impact our lens and therefore our relationships with ourselves and others. Therapy is about “peeling back the layers” in order to develop awareness of this lens and eventually to start making changes.

You are looking for empathy and compassion, when going through struggles. It feels so frustrating when you can't find the right support. The support you deserve! You desire a therapist that you can trust and you feel connected to. This is what I strive for in our sessions. I want to create a comfortable atmosphere, where you are able to share whatever is most important to you presently. I place importance on the guidance you provide me, in regard to what you feel is the current presenting problem and how you would like to approach that. I ensure that our sessions are not only a safe place but a judgment-free zone, as well.
