Welcome to my practice! I am glad you are here.
You might be seeking therapy to find relief from pain, unpleasant past experiences or difficult emotions that are keeping you from enjoying life. Perhaps you are dealing with overwhelming negative feelings that are leaving you stuck and lowering your personal effectiveness. Whether you’re dealing with various challenges or simply looking to move your life in a new positive direction, psychotherapy can offer fertile ground for growth and change.
During the last 16 years, I have found that once individuals learn how to change their beliefs, thoughts, and attitudes, their feelings, emotions, and actions will become more helpful! Equally important is finding a therapist who is the right fit for you and who can come alongside you during this journey.
My approach to working with clients focuses on offering a warm, compassionate and safe space where clients gain insight into current challenges and develop effective strategies for managing them. I like to partner with clients in creating attainable goals that will guide our work together and help you transition from a negative place to a happier and positive state of well-being. I help my clients make meaningful, authentic, and mindful choices that leave them feeling empowered.
Why Work with Me
Life is hectic and stressful. Having access to therapy should not be.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I offer in-person and telehealth services to individual adults, adolescents, and families. I help clients who are dealing with issues like depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship problems and life transitions. I am trained and experienced in using various therapeutic frameworks and techniques that I tailor to clients’ needs and treatment goals. Typically, I leverage a combined approach that provides me with the flexibility to adapt to your unique needs and preferences. I will work with you to discover long-standing and deeply-rooted behavior patterns and negative perceptions that might be holding you from experiencing a more fulfilling life.

If you are unsure of how this whole process works or wondering if therapy can help, make an appointment for a free 15-minute initial consultation. During this time we can discuss your needs, go over questions and determine if we are a good match.
Reaching out for help is often uncomfortable, but can be the most courageous step you take. I look forward to hearing from you.
As a marriage and family therapist, my goal is to help you resolve complicated emotional and psychological issues. Although I cannot change difficult and taxing situations of the past, I can work with you to better understand and resolve current challenges in your life. You do not have to stay stuck in your old patterns of coping. Therapy can help you develop a new and better skill set.
With more than 16 years of knowledge and experience using various therapeutic techniques in treating diverse groups of individuals and families, I am continually rewarded and happy when my clients actually get better—not merely feel better.
FAQS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Friends and family can provide wonderful support for many; however, a qualified professional has the experience and training to teach effective skills, explore underlying issues and systematically work with you through the process of change. Therapy is also highly confidential, which allows clients to feel safe and be open while working through their issues. A therapist does not act as a friend or simply gives you advice or tells you what to do, rather they are an objective professional who provides a space free from judgments and expectations, which allows growth and change to happen.
To help you figure this out, I offer a free phone consultation, where we can talk about current issues, needs or questions you might have.
