I am currently treating individuals, couples and families, ages 18 and over. I offer a therapeutic environment that is open-minded and nonjudgmental. As a mental health professional, I am best suited for the following issues: difficult life transitions, navigating toxic relationships, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, survivors of abuse, anger and low self-esteem. I specialize in behavior change, shifting perceptions, promoting self-care and self-advocacy. My demeanor can be described as direct, honest and genuine. I use techniques and approaches from the areas of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness. My approach is directive and solution-focused, emphasizing self-esteem and self-awareness. Diverse clients are welcomed and embraced. Clients are encouraged to be self-directed, setting their own goals while collaborating on a creative and comprehensive treatment plan. I employ practicality to address day-to-day life and living in the present. I also focus on potential neurobiological conditions and how they affect behavior, perception and emotion. I am a Clinically Certified Domestic Violence Specialist through the National Anger Management Association and the National Association of Forensic Counselors.

You may feel stuck, anxious, sad, overwhelmed, burnt out. Exhausted, pressured and struggling to cope with the inevitable ups and downs of life. Transitions, relationships, communication, and self-care can be so hard if you are feeling so low. Maybe everything looks good on the outside but inside, you are hurting. No matter what your struggle or concern, you are worthy of feeling joy, connection, comfort and stability. You are worthy of feeling better! Let's work together on your goals.

I specialize in treating teenagers and women. I am intuitive and direct. I have a good sense of humor and my style is warm and focused. I pull from a variety of therapeutic methodologies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness based practices and occasional elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

Empowering individuals to live their best life is my objective as a counselor. Together we will discover tools and strategies that will provide support in dealing with life-stressors and challenges. These tools and strategies will promote a greater level of emotional intelligence (self-awareness, self-regulation, internal motivation, empathy and social skills). Through my extensive training, knowledge, therapeutic successes and life experiences, I am confident that I can help you see and reach for the best in yourself and overcome the many obstacles that life may bring.
