Therapy is a journey that gives us the opportunity to find our genuine selves and ultimately become the best person we can be. Through therapy, profound and lasting change and growth can occur. I am a doctor of psychology as well as a licensed independent clinical social worker. I have deep expertise in working with addiction and recovery issues, alcoholism, as well as family, relationship, and couples issues. I have spent more than 20 years in the psychotherapy field. I work with adolescents and adults, in individual, family, and couple modalities. As a therapist, my approach to therapy is to meet you at your current place in life, and to support you to advance toward your objectives, work past obstacles, and attain supreme growth. I utilize various therapeutic approaches, comprising psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and strength-based techniques.

If you are going through a difficult time, finding a therapist should be the least stressful part of your journey. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor, and I have been working in the field of counseling for over twenty years now. I have worked with many issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions and trauma. I will always work to provide an empathetic non-judgmental and safe space. If you are stuck or sick of struggling please reach out. Please call or email the office. I would love to hear from you to see how we can begin working together.

No matter why you are seeking therapy, I believe everyone is capable of growth and change. If you are looking to be a better version of yourself, we can take that journey together. I specialize in helping clients struggling with anxiety, depression, borderline personality issues, or past trauma. My style is warm, affirming, and solution-focused. During your first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy and your expectations and goals. We will then work together to form a roadmap to meet those goals. I utilize a collaborative approach that integrates evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) with a person-centered orientation. These techniques will help challenge your existing beliefs in a safe and supportive space and will help you to learn strategies to live your best life. Starting therapy can be hard and takes a lot of courage. If you are interested in taking that step and think we could work well together, please reach out to me by phone or email to schedule an appointment or book directly with the link on my website. I also offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you decide if working together is right for you.

Are trauma, stress, or anxiety quietly stealing your joy? Do you feel alone, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost touch with yourself? You’re not broken, and you don’t have to face this alone. I’m a trained trauma therapist, and I help adults heal from the weight of trauma, stress, and anxiety. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of what’s holding you back, release the patterns keeping you stuck, and help you step fully into a life that feels like you again—whole, grounded, and free. I combine eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with somatic therapies like therapeutic yoga, Reiki, and sound bath to create deep, lasting transformation. In our work together, you’ll not only uncover the root of what’s driving your anxiety, stress, or trauma, but you’ll also release it at a body level. I wholeheartedly believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important element to successful therapy. Therefore, I make sure that our work together is supportive, empowering, and collaborative. I hope you will take the next step to invest in the authentic, joyful, and grounded version of yourself that patiently awaits you.

As well as improving focus, attention, and memory by training your brain to maximize achievement, performance, and productivity. My approach is to tailor to the needs of my clients, including applying a variety of techniques, from cognitive-behavioral therapy, art therapy, and play therapy. I use evidence-based treatment methods, and my goal is to aid you in helping yourself.

I believe in meeting each client where they are. There is not one way to help someone resolve a problem in their life. I believe in helping my clients find the right path that works for them and following along beside them to provide wisdom in their lives to take the next steps and make better choices. A mental health professional should go above and beyond for their clients and I believe in this whole heartedly. My motto is "get me in your life and out of your life quickly so that you can live happy!"
