When we are feeling down and in need of support, we all deserve someone to talk to about our experiences. Sometimes it's not easy to communicate with those we are closest to about what we are feeling.

My ideal client is you. My goal of therapy is to meet the client exactly where they are at and collaborate on the clients’ needs and goals. I work with clients to look at their patterns and behaviors by making the unconscious conscious.

Buddha's quote "The mind is everything. What you think you become", has always been at the center of my beliefs, both personally and professionally. Therefore, I view therapy as a tool that enables us to transcend beyond our previously adopted and perhaps less effective ways of coping with life's challenges, and begin to relearn new ways of dealing with challenges as they arise. This will in turn open up many new windows to self-awareness, ultimately bringing about personal growth and satisfaction both internally and within the context of our relationships, allowing us to live happier more fulfilled lives.

While providing a nonjudgmental environment, I offer warmth, compassion, and empathy while serving my clients, in an effort to assist them with identifying and achieving their desired outcomes.

Are you Thriving or just surviving each day? Do you feel insecure or lost? Does it feel like anxiety has a life of its own? Do you wonder when it will be someone else’s turn to take care of everything so you can take a moment to breathe, feel confident, and trust in yourself? If you relate to these questions, perhaps you are looking for a therapist to help you break free from the vicious cycle of anxiety and self-judgment. Maybe you are looking for someone who will support your work to build a true sense of self and a foundation you use to trust yourself.

Therapy is about unraveling root causes of stressors, in order to process and redirect the mannerisms of rediscovering oneself. By gaining healthy therapeutic tools, coping skills and going through the steps of healthy processing individuals learn to live healthier and happier lives. As a psychotherapist I greatly enjoy working with all age ranges where I can incorporate my knowledge of CBT, DBT, PST and mindfulness. I recognize that no single therapeutic approach is inclusive of all clients. Thus, I put emphasis on the individual needs of each client and focus on uncovering the most appropriate therapeutic approaches for all.
