I want to help you heal and grow so you can live with joy and purpose.

Have you been through something that was so painful that you’ve had a difficult time moving past it? Does it feel impossible to imagine that things can ever get better? Do you have a hard time forgiving yourself for past mistakes These experiences and feelings are sadly all-too-common in the world today. Together, we can work to find a way to resolve distressing emotions and any distorted thought processes which are making it difficult for you to move forward.

Through an objective and supportive relationship, which is often called the therapy alliance, I specialize in helping clients reach their short-term and/or long-term personal goals. I have a broad range of experience treating conditions, solving problems, and coping with circumstances that influence the emotional and cognitive functioning of adults of all ages and gender. I am a primarily a person-centered therapist with advanced training and expertise in treating conditions such as trauma, anxiety, and depression with evidence-based interventions such as cognitive processing therapy (CPT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and eye-movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR).

I embrace the belief that every client contains, deeply within their own subconscious mind, the key to their own healing and well-being. The answers are never out there, but instead are inside you waiting to be discovered. I am deeply committed to the path of the heart and I feel privileged to be a part of each individual’s process of healing, which I consider to be a sacred task. I believe we all have the power to heal, no matter how deep our wounds may be!

Though trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, my humanistic background is the foundation for my belief that true healing occurs within relationships. Because I value the power of relationship, I want you to know that I have personally experienced hard things too. My own experiences with anxiety, loss and trauma all contribute to my caring, compassionate and personalized approach in therapy. I also believe that every behavior has a purpose and a payoff. If we can understand what drives the behavior, then we can begin work on strategies that will develop new skills to help you.

As a mental health therapist, I believe in empowering clients to become aware of their own healthy/unhealthy thinking and behavior so, in return, they can implement positive lifestyle changes. Collaboration between the client and myself is used to guide the client in redefining their own way of life. Clients should know that this sometimes can be a short or lengthy process but I am willing to walk all the way with them as they develop their new healthy self. Clients should know that they are never alone in this new journey...

I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process between client and therapist in which I practice from a person-centered perspective. I tailor treatment to meet the individual needs of the client to ensure that treatment goals and objectives address the primary needs of the client. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral framework, while evaluating client care from a biopsychosocial perspective. In other words, I find it necessary to incorporate factors from the mind, body, and social support system of each individual to ensure a comprehensive approach to the journey of growth that therapy is meant to be.
