As a psychotherapist who has been practicing therapy for over 25 years, I understand the importance of establishing a trusting, confidential space for all of my clients. There are many reasons that might draw a person to counseling, from experiencing a significant loss and coping with debilitating anxiety or depression, to dealing with difficult relationship issues, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of family, work, or school. My goal is to provide a caring and non-judgmental presence as we work together to tackle the difficult concerns that are interfering in your life.

For both newcomers and those who’ve had counseling in the past, I am here to support you in this process. In our work together, you will find empathy and genuine non-judgment, respect for your worldview and culture, and the value of your collaboration.

I wholeheartedly believe that every challenge in life presents opportunities to recognize existing strengths and discover new ones. I am committed to supporting your goals, your overcoming obstacles, and reclaiming expertise over your own life.

I strongly feel that healing can take place only in the context of a relationship in which someone experiences safety, compassion and understanding. It is through this process that people can awaken in themselves the possibilities for growth and transformation, often hidden by the negative effects of trauma, depression, anxiety, anger and loss. In my treatment approach, I communicate to my patients that they are not alone in their suffering, that they have the strength to tolerate the uncertainties of life, and they do have choices even if they feel stuck and alone.

My greatest strength is my ability to create a non-judgmental, supportive, trusting relationship. Together, we will explore why you have chosen to come to therapy and we will find the approach that best meets your needs. You will gain the insight to break dysfunctional patterns of behavior and interaction in your day to day relationships. I will help you to better regulate your emotions and to cope with stressful situations. We will focus on your strengths as well as your challenges as you learn the skills needed to become the person you were meant to be.

For more than 25 years I've helped clients deal with the stress that change often brings.

I support the effort to improve your well-being, whether the need is short term or ongoing.

Although life can be a beautiful journey, it can also sometimes be confusing, messy, frustrating, and overwhelming as we try to navigate the various obstacles that may bombard us daily.
