My mission is to empower individuals to take control of their destiny and function productively by providing them with the necessary skills to realize their dreams through counseling, education, social skills training, motivation, and participating in the treatment of abnormal behaviors. The goal is to complete that missing piece of the puzzle that creates a balanced and purposeful life.

A favorite saying of mine is "CHANGE... It's One of Life's Only Constants..." Change often signifies growth. Changes often move us from our comfort zone and may trigger stressful or distressing thoughts, behaviors, emotions or physiological responses. Our responses are often unconscious. Except we consciously recognize increased discomfort, pain or unproductive functioning in our daily roles and relationships. If you or a family member are experiencing any social, emotional, mental or behavioral difficulties causing distress & preventing enjoying life or realizing your or their full potential in personal, work or school functioning, I invite you to call me.

Finding the right therapist – one that you feel comfortable talking to – can be very overwhelming. I would like to walk you through the process and get to know you and what you are going through.

Let's define your meaning of safety, and how to implement it in your daily life.

There is no such thing as an ideal client. However, ideally you should be at the "Contemplation" stage of change. This stage of change means that you are aware of the pros and cons of change and you intend on addressing the concern between now and the next six months.
