It's hard to get through this life without our fair share of hurts and hang ups. We often find ways to cope that work for a while, but may not be the best for us in the long run. If that sounds like you, I would be honored to work with you to find better solutions, based upon sound psychological research, that can lead to permanent change. While I work with a variety of presenting issues, I specialize in sexual addictions, trauma, relationship issues, and increasing emotional intelligence.

My goal, as a therapist, is to help others create their own happiness by empowering strengths and learning to overcome weaknesses. Depression and feeling overwhelmed in work, relationships, and daily activities is a common experience for most of us. People often need help in resolving conflict with others, wish to stop a bad habit, or desire to understand their self-worth.

Hello and thank you for visiting my page. Taking a step towards self discovery is a courageous one. I see therapy as a unique opportunity to provide space for healing, where choosing to honor yourself becomes priority. Our personal journeys have many ebbs and flows and we can become lost in our experiences and emotions along the way. Therapy can serve as a guide to help us safely navigate our way back. Healing will ask you to dismantle repetitive patterns, unresolved pain and outdated beliefs to have a clearer view. With new vision and understanding it opens the possibilities in becoming the truest version of yourself.

I see my role as a co-participant with clients in the therapy process. I seek to enable individuals and couples to develop their inner resources with understanding and caring support. In such a setting, my clients gain the strength and freedom to solve or manage their problems in creative ways.

Making the step to begin the counseling process can be scary and overwhelming; but it can be the first step toward healing and change. I absolutely love working with individuals and couples. Walking along side clients as they journey their way through hurt, anger, grief, frustration, and other emotions, is my pleasure. Some of my previous clients came to me when things seemed to be very grim and hopeless. It has been my pleasure to watch them put in the hard work and commitment to the therapeutic process and come out as stronger individuals and couples.

I am a caring and empathetic person who has a heart for helping people. As a therapist I seek to work collaboratively with clients in establishing treatment goals. My hope is that clients will learn new and healthier ways of living and gain a greater ability to treat both themselves and others with compassion. It takes courage to step into the therapy room, so I work to provide a disarming and open space for clients to share. My curiosity guides me as I get to know people for who they are and I enjoy helping clients learn to think, feel, and act in new, productive ways to become the people they want to be.

Many obstacles can interfere with living life to its fullest, but they don't have to. Creating a focused plan and sticking with it can be life changing, and at times deeper issues are at play. In my practice I work with high performing individuals such as Athletes, Entertainers and Public Figures, as well as their families. Having competed and worked in the Sport and Entertainment Industries for more than twenty years, I've developed a unique approach incorporating performance psychology, positive mental health and mindfulness to consistently help clients around the world meet and exceed their goals.
