Congratulations on taking the first step toward the positive change you desire in your life! My main objective is to partner with you to explore solutions that promote a new way forward toward a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life you deserve. Through my active listening, non-judgmental, empathic and relational style – safety, trust and rapport are established which allows clients to discover deeper aspects of themselves, achieve personal & therapeutic goals, and ultimately thrive in everyday life.

Allow me to assist you in the change process by both of us looking at your thinking &how it affects you. I feel passionate about working with those who have experienced trauma, loss, abuse/neglect, as well as those who are living with mental illness, including struggling teens & ones with onset of mental illness. I believe in empowering people to process loss, reach goals, develop self-esteem, and improve functioning in a supportive, safe environment.I have gained experience working in both an in-patient and an out-patient psychiatric hospital setting, the Children's Protective Services system, group private practice, and a prison.

If you are experiencing a life challenge or feel like wanting to be listened, I would love to support you in the process! If it’s talking about life, learning a new skill or even having silent moments my main priority is to provide client centered services and genuinely create a trustworthy and professional relationship fostered in cultural sensitivity, empathy and your strengths to achieve your goal.

I won't listen and sit expressionless, only nodding occasionally during our time together. I am warm but more direct then that. I care deeply about people I work with. I seek to offer real help. I'm empathic, down to earth and passionate helping. We’ll define goals together. You’ll get feedback that’s helpful and sometimes challenging. Often getting to a better place is not all that complicated and therapy doesn't have to be an endless process that grinds on. Anger, anxiety, depression and addictions are some of things I help people with. There are others. Call me if you have questions. My passion is helping you get better now.

Are you struggling to find support in the areas of your life where you need it the most? Through therapy, I am dedicated to providing you unconditional support when the rest of the world seems to disappoint you. Together we will build a strong therapeutic relationship where you learn to navigate seasons of stress, grief, anxiety, and depression and ultimately find inner acceptance.

I view counseling as a partnership between the client and myself. I see my role as enabling people to explore ways to heal from emotional hurt, to discover pathways toward more effective and positive ways of thinking, and to adopt helpful patterns of behavior. Through counseling, I help people recognize their strengths; encourage individuals to take responsibility for their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors; and assist people in making and implementing effective decisions. Using an integrative approach to counseling, the techniques I use are cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, solution-focused, and interpersonal. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy and family system theories.

I try to create a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment for you to express yourself and help you reach your personal goals. There's no magic pill I can give you, but we can work together so you can develop the tools and coping skills you need to overcome obstacles and maximize your potential to make healthy choices and live the most fulfilling life possible.

Mental Health recovery is possible and it starts with having the courage to seek help. Taking care of your mental health is an act of self-love. There is no shame in seeking help for your mental health. I work with adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, and other day-to-day challenges. It is my goal to help clients identify their strengths, help you learn coping skills, gain insight into your thought patterns and behaviors; to help you navigate life’s daily stressors and overcome the greater obstacles.

Do you struggle with relationships, regulating your emotions, feelings of shame and guilt, and setting healthy boundaries? Do you feel unsafe in relationships, settings, and/or situations and find yourself hypervigilant for threats? You may be experiencing the effects of Developmental/Complex Trauma which typically results from repeated or multiple traumas experienced in childhood. Usually, these are interpersonal traumas where the caregivers unintentionally or intentionally fail to provide secure attachment, safety, and validation which can wire the developing brain mainly for survival rather than for trust in relationships.

If the whole world is a stage, as Shakespeare said, what part do you play? Are you simply acting out a part or are you living the part you want? Helping clients narrow the gap between their dreams and their real lives is a major thrust of my work. I help individuals, couples and families to both pinpoint their hearts' desires and figure out the best way to attain these dreams. A lifelong student of the human personality, I presented my original research on behavioral inhibition at Oxford University. My work was published in Oxford's professional journal, THE FORUM.
