My personal philosophy is based on the awareness that each person has the ability to change any circumstance or current situations. Helping clients to bring out their potential for understanding themselves, self-healing, and personal growth so that they may know their true identity and it be the driving force of each session. Each person needs something different from therapy, such support in rock times, new ideas about unsatisfactory relationships, exploration and clarification of difficult life situations or encouragement to reach for joy and purpose in life.

“Normal is just a setting on the dryer” is one of my favorite quotes. Each person is unique and therefore, therapy should not feel like a “one size fits all” solution. My goal is to treat each person in a way that embraces who they are and what they need. My belief is that when a person is truly heard and valued; that they are then able to attain their goals. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults with varying backgrounds and experiences since 2009.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, depressed, anxious or alone? I am here to help. I practice from a Holistic perspective as I believe in the mind/body connection and healing starting from this point. I strive to empower the people I work with as true change happens in this way. We all suffer on some level and sometimes we stand in our own way, underestimating our ability to heal. Unconditional love toward self, creating a vision and working on decreasing the negative thoughts that cause depression, anxiety, low self-esteem is what I incorporate into my therapy sessions.
