My goal is for you to leave our therapy sessions feeling strong, empowered and more confident than you came in. I've seen far too many clients walk through their lives feeling aimless and uncertain about their lives and where they are going. I'm here to help you fix that. My style is hands-on and solution focused. I believe counseling is a service and that service is meant to help you find ways to change your life for the better. I want you to leave our sessions together knowing that you have control over your life even though you've come to believe that you do not. However, none of that can happen without a strong and meaningful therapeutic relationship. I've worked with such an array of different clients over the years and I've always found a way to connect with all of them. I want to make counseling for you an enjoyable yet productive experience where you walk away knowing it was the right decision to take that leap into therapy. It doesn't matter what is bringing you to therapy because the most important aspect is your desire to help yourself get better. Even if you're coming in because of someone putting pressure on you; the fact that you value that relationship to make a change speaks volumes about your character and willingness. My clinical expertise is addiction treatment (both user and impacted family), and my other expertise is in relationship counseling. I work with several couples and also those who are unsure about their relationship. There isn't a wrong time to enter counseling. So whatever your crisis may be at this time in your life, let's sit down together and talk about it. I guarantee you'll feel better about it and have a sense of direction as to what changes you need and are willing to make so you can change your life. I look forward to meeting you.

My approach to helping is collaborative in that I meet you where you are to address the issues you bring to therapy. Areas I can assist include supporting you during a difficult time, teaching you coping skills, helping you process through experiences from your past, addressing long-standing patterns in your life, and helping you get a better understanding of yourself. We will begin by discussing your goals for therapy and the changes you want to see in your life. We will discuss various approaches that might be helpful to you, and decide together on a plan to help you address your goals. We will regularly discuss how you feel things are going and if we need to make any adjustments to our plan. Clients have described me as a good listener, someone that remembers the details of their life and what's important to them, emotionally safe, empathic, warm, trusting, compassionate, non-judgmental, and down to earth. I look forward to hearing from you to see if I might be a good fit for you.

I appreciate that reaching out for help is not easy, so I am glad that you are here. I am a clinical and forensic psychologist with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked with people from all walks of life: young adults navigating the responsibilities and transition to adulthood, those involved in the criminal justice system, trauma survivors, those needing a safe space to talk through long-standing issues, and adults struggling through significant life changes. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment in which you can explore your feelings and personal challenges. Using a strength-based, solution-focused approach, we will work collaboratively to develop a plan that best supports your growth and goals.

My philosophy and approach to helping people is to start where the individual is emotionally, and to learn about their life as it has been experienced thus far, both its problems and its satisfactions. As I listen, questions are formulated around places where there may be blockages, distortions or dissatisfactions, and these are explored without judgment in the form of discussion. This allows for feeling, thought, memory and fantasies to be talked about and worked through, which enables the personality to mature further.

As a clinical psychologist, I can help you with relationship issues, managing stress, minimizing anxiety and depression, and managing important life transitions. Within my profession, there is no valuable "cookie cutter" approach, therefore your unique personality and coping style will have a significant emphasis in my work with you. My primary goal is to always learn and help my clients to do the same. To summarize, I can help you with: 1) Relationship issues 2) Managing stress 3) Minimizing your depression and anxiety 4) Managing important life transitions Building a fresh outlook on a recent or habitual problem is essential to minimizing or completely eliminating it. As a psychologist, I can help you to do exactly that. For that reason, I am best regarded as your personal consultant, with whom you can freely discuss your individual difficulties and find the best strategies to address them.

You’re feeling like you’re not enough; you don’t make enough, you don’t do enough. You’re feeling lost in an overwhelming world.

What does it even mean to be happy? Together, we will work to find your happy. We will work to find your peace, and square up your own moral compass, not the compasses of everyone around you.

We are a group practice with various clinicians with experience and expertise to help you along the way, no matter where that may be.

I believe most of our discomfort comes from conflict within ourself. We try to live our life based on the way we were conditioned to live it. This conditioning comes from our upbringing, society and culture. We then act out what we "think" based on our learned experiences. My focus is on helping you manage the many thoughts that arise and be able to gain a deeper understanding of what is behind those thoughts. The goal is to think more clearly, make easier choices, and feel in control as you move through the world. I have 30 years of experience watching many change their lives for the better. My style is supportive, warm, authentic, and free of judgment.
