Hi there! I am so happy that you are taking the first step & reaching out for help! It takes a lot of courage to open up to a stranger about the most intimate things in your life. So thank you!

We all go through different seasons in life: Some high, Some low. So why not reach out for help along the way! It would be an honor to be that help for you.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by big feelings like depression or anxiety? Is there a seemingly insurmountable distance between you and your loved one(s)? Are you dissatisfied with relationships with parents, children, or significant others? Does it ever feel like nobody could possibly understand what you're going through? Whether you struggle with family or relationship issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other life stressors, therapy can be a major step toward healing.

I have extensive training with most psychological disorders and relationship issues through use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

YOU are my focus.

I help people change the habits and behaviors that are not serving them, so they can lead more peaceful and balanced lives here in the present moment.

Together we will generate new, rational alternatives that will help you gain perspective about the life you want to be living.

I view therapy as a journey, helping to align the inner and outer worlds of individuals through non-judgement, authenticity, and positive regard. In doing so, I value the interpersonal and relational process and strive to help individuals empower themselves and bring harmony to their environment. I find that the urge to reach out, to help people find strength in, with and through their fragility and societal limitations drives my therapeutic work.

Do you overthink? Are you too hard on yourself? Do you worry about school or work on a daily basis? Do you question yourself after social interactions?

As we progress into the second year of being limited in traveling, gathering and socializing, we are finding ourselves less able to avoid our triggers, struggles, self image and overcome messages of being misunderstood and alone. For some, these last two years have caused more strain than strength within your relationship with children, family and or your partner. No matter the situation that brings a person to counseling the goal is to find a supportive, strength based, experienced, and compassionate clinician who will also challenge them to see that beyond the immediate storm there are blooming flowers.

People try to make sense of their world as they perceive it. This is why people struggle with depression, anxiety, emotional regulation and expression, addiction, etc. Overall, I believe people want to understand what makes them who they are. Through understanding their struggles and being able to choose different ways of thinking, acting, and feeling, people can learn to be the best version of themselves.
