Life has a tendency to create difficult moments for all of us. The decision to begin therapy is one that can help you get through these moments and to function better in all areas of life. I aim to provide a comfortable, private atmosphere that is conducive to creating a sense of well-being which aids in the process of brighter days ahead. I work with adults as well as children and adolescents who are experiencing some of life's challenges such as depression, relationship issues, anxiety, grief and adjustment disorders that are causing some pain and discomfort in their lives.

I am now accepting new clients. My goal is to help people feel better and find the best version of themselves. Life is not easy and unfortunately, most of us have been afflicted in some way. Often, this affliction is a blindside; we don't see it coming. Life challenges is all encompassing, it maybe related to neglect/abuse, domestic/violent relationships, major life losses, grief, discrimination, abandonment, drug/alcohol use etc. this list is endless; which is sad. It's disheartening to think of all hurtful/harmful things that are reality in today's world. I want you to know that you don't have to figure everything out alone.

The Journey of life is one that is often filled with both moments of joy and moments of sorrow. Unfortunately for some, these moments of sorrow are either endured alone or leave couples and family members feeling as if there are no options. As a therapist I feel honored to have the opportunity to offer assistance to individual, couples, and families who are feeling stuck in the sorrows of life. And to not only present options to the struggles of life, but to also walk alongside your journey of life.

“You can't start the next chapter of your life, if you keep rereading the last one." Sometimes we feel "stuck", like we can't get past something. This can be the break up of a relationship, or a death, or just moving on from some significant event that changed us. We feel like we 'should' be moving on, and criticize ourselves for not, but it doesn't help. In fact, often, it can feel as if we have 'lost ourselves', and that we don't even know who we are anymore. Therapy can help you find yourself again.
