Welcome!

Over the course of my 15 years as a clinician, I have encountered a growing number of individuals who felt stuck in their lives. As a therapist, I bring awareness and compassion to the process of obtaining freedom from the things that hold you back and help you navigate life from that space of freedom.  We all have strengths and weaknesses; too often, we focus on our weaknesses instead of allowing our strengths to shine. Together, we will move you toward creating a life of happiness and fulfillment. 

MY process

I provide a personalized approached to help clients move from the world of pain and chaos to hope and change. I connect with my clients with a level of compassion, understanding and insight that allows for a higher level of work and healing to be reached. I am honest and upfront about the work that needs to be done, and I will challenge you to be your best self and go beyond perceived limitations.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of the therapy process. I won’t waste your time or money; I encourage you to have an initial session with me to determine if it is a good fit and ensure that we feel comfortable working together. I strive to create a relationship based on honesty and clear communication. This work is a collaborative process of healing; I’m with you every step of the way. Therapy is difficult and intense work, so you must feel comfortable and safe with me in order to get the most out of the experience.

I truly believe that you can achieve the life of your dreams if you are willing to confront barriers and embrace healing. Many times in life, we know what we want, but we lack the motivation, drive and direction to get there. As a life coach and therapist, I will teach you how to cultivate that passion and motivation so that you can not only live the life you want, but you can transcend beyond what you ever imagined.

Welcome, and congratulations on taking a step toward personal growth. Asking for help can be so hard, so please know that I see this as a significant strength on your part.  Life can be wonderful and beautiful, but we all go through pain at some point.  From my own personal journey, I have come to embrace the truth that every obstacle is an opportunity to grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.  I function with an unwavering belief at the core of my practice: Change happens.  In fact, the only true barrier to change is ourselves.  I believe that empowerment is the key to making this change sustainable.

I see myself as not just a therapist, but an advocate, a coach, a teacher, a partner.  My job is to create a compassionate, authentic, warm, non-judgemental, and empowering place from which you can heal and grow.  Over the past decade, I have worked with a variety of populations, from Substance Abuse to Schizophrenia. For several years, I served as Program Director for a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating and providing assistance to individuals with serious mental illnesses who could not afford treatment.

I use evidence based practices in all of my work. I use various modalities, however, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to create positive change.  In short, our thoughts determine our feelings which determine our behaviors. It's easy to personalize negative circumstances and engage in negative self-talk, which affects our mood and actions. It's like wearing a cloudy pair of glasses through which we perceive everything in our lives. One of my goals is to help you clean those glasses so that you can see things more clearly and begin the journey toward who you would like to become.
