I am a licensed clinical therapist whose passion for mental wellbeing is the driving force informing my practice with clients. I am down to earth, insightful and I believe in meeting my clients where they are- human to human. My therapeutic approach is to provide an inviting space of warmth, understanding, and clinical expertise with intentions of meeting clients where they are, walking shoulder to shoulder in partnership to overcome challenges or obstacles that may be preventing them from their individual potential.

I work with young adults, adults, seniors and families, through individual, family, couples and marital counseling. I work with clients who have been abused, traumatized, neglected and are struggling and attempting to cope with issues of depression, anxiety, ADHD, separation anxiety, anger management, co-dependence, adolescence, preparing and moving to college, family stressors and dynamics, parenting, divorce, co-parenting, school issues, employment issues, job loss, retirement, grief, and alienation.

Therapy is a collaborative partnership that functions optimally when there is a positive, working alliance and authentic attachment between a client and therapist. Goals must be focused and must reflect the issues that are most compelling for the client. A therapist should be nonjudgmental, empathetic and present. Respect for each client's journey supports the development of trust and connection, allowing each client to develop a new and empowering narrative that helps them to reshape their lives.

Our Childhood, history, and personal myths about ourselves are powerful forces that have the ability to shape our interpersonal relationships and behaviors; worldview and ourselves. At some point, we have all experiences, challenges or life altering experiences that will have the ability to change our trajectory, bring us to a cross road or that will challenge our core beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Through my work with individuals, families and couples I have enjoyed helping others to navigate these obstacles in order to transform these adverse experiences into opportunities of growth.
