Have you ever felt afraid to fail? Regardless of the circumstances, failing, for some is not an option, yet it consumes many to a point where you become stifled into being complacent. You might find yourself frozen in doing nothing because you are stuck. The truth is high achievers often struggle with anxiety – it’s par for the course. Those who find success in all aspects of life are often viewed as “having it all together” but what often follows is a bag full of stress, depression, and anxiety. These states often lead to destructive or disturbing thought patterns, which then leads to negative influences on behavior and emotions.

I pursue my work with motivated adults and couples who are open to introspection and seek to understand the complexity of their problems. I see a diverse range of clients and issues and specialize in treating those who struggle with anxiety and social disorders, depression, relationship issues, and career difficulties. Clients who thrive in my approach are curious about themselves, the world, and human nature.

An ideal client would be an adult, mental health/substance use disorder, with a desire to change. Family involvement is so important so I would hope they would have emphasis on that and willingness to have them involved. Ultimately I love when someone is internally driven to change, but as a therapist we meet the clients where they are. Internally motivated, externally motivated, and sometimes neither. I don't discriminate and am willing to help essentially anyone.

It seems that life is so complicated these days, that there is no time for YOU. Are you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or just tired?

If you are suffering with clinical concerns, such as anxiety, panic attacks, frequent mood changes, depression; or you are stuck in obsessive thinking, complicated grief, or traumatic experiences that are affecting the present, I can assist you in working to overcome them.

Life can present a wide array of challenges, from anxiety, to mood disorders, to trauma; all which require very specialized healing. Therapy is a personalized and integrative experience, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Yes, the world may be becoming more complex, but that doesn’t mean that we cannot create new habits that make our lives a bit simpler. Helping to strengthen and develop successful coping strategies to improve life situations. My passion is to ultimately empower others to manage their own lives independently. Some people struggle with rejection, anxiety, depression; others are looking for help in processing their emotions or just need an extra ear. Sometimes just talking with someone and being able to process with one who is nonjudgmental is what we all need. Let's seek clarity and meaning together.

Despite having reached the pinnacle of my profession after nearly two decades of practice, it was my own struggle with learning disabilities, dual diagnosis and other medical conditions and issues, that changed my perspective and my life. I came to appreciate an approach which focuses on the here and now; solution focused and goal oriented. I found little solace in traditional therapeutic approaches which focused largely on the past, and went on for months with no real relief nor positive impact on my life or functioning. As such, I strive to help my clients achieve their goals and actualize their dreams using a coaching approach.

As a therapist, I am focused on providing a safe and comfortable environment for you in an effective way that helps to facilitate change and healing. It is my belief that the combination of a trusting relationship paired with an empathetic and interactive approach can create a platform for personal growth that can allow you to reach your individualized goals. My role in this therapeutic process is to take a non-judgmental stance to motivate change through helping you identify, navigate, and cope effectively with unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.

Life is a journey; at least to me it is. My life has been a journey (and still is). Life is full of ups and downs; sometimes, life gives us more downs than ups. That's okay; no really, it is. It's only by going through life that we can experience everything it has to offer. As your therapist, I will take the journey with you. Together, we will examine the obstacles in your way and take them on, one by one. I will provide empathy, compassion, and insight to each session.

The first step of change is awareness. Congratulations to you on becoming aware that something needs to change. Change is the one consistent thing in life and also one of the hardest to deal with. We all need support along the way. Together, we will unravel the depths of unhealthy patterns and learn ways to change them that align to your authentic self. : nothing changes IF no thing changes.

My therapeutic style is non-judgmental, patient, understanding and compassionate. I am an optimistic individual who believes in my clients’ potentials when they or close ones don't. I focus mainly on my clients’ strengths, personalities, and wisdom to cope with their mental health issues. I have a passion working in the mental health field as a licensed social worker. It can be nerve-wrecking to open up your thoughts and feelings, but with your time working with me, I will provide a safe and comfortable environment. I have experience in CBT, DBT, mindfulness, exposure therapy, and solution-focused therapy.
