I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field and I have worked with singles, couples, families, seniors, and adolescents. I am empathic and an active listener. I treat all of my clients with unconditional positive regard and respect. I do not believe in a one size fits all therapy approach. Every client is different and has different needs and that is my focus. I work with the entire person to help them improve their mental health and over all well-being.

The exchange between you and therapist should be safe, honest and challenging. But it should also have humor, some guidance toward other resources but mostly it should not feel antiseptic to you---not contrived or distant and removed. This is about you--your life and the trust you put into your therapist should be received with honor and returned to you with respect and truth and consistency of presence. I am not going to spend time here telling you the approach I use, the methodology I subscribe to because every approach is unique to the person with whom I am working. You are unique and so should be your therapy.

Despite the chaos of today's world, there is an incredible opportunity for change. You can learn to turn anxiety into your superpower and heal from past traumas that have kept you repeating the same behaviors that keep you stuck. If you want to improve how you show up in relationships, at work, or your overall well-being, you must do the inner work. People who suffer from anxiety nearly always have unexpressed negative feelings about some problem in their lives. The inner work helps you become more mindful and empowers you to respond from a place of choice rather than reaction.
