Most of us are doing the best they can with the options and tools they have available at the time. Sometimes we need a helping hand to move forward. In these times of need therapy can offer insight, objective feedback, and guidance. Together we can work towards reaching your goals and personal growth. I have over 15 years’ experience providing mental health services and behavioral counseling. I have worked with adults, couples, families, adolescents and even children. I have helped to treat issues including anxiety, depression, anger management, low self-confidence, school/ career concerns, stress, parenting dynamics, and relationship challenges. My therapeutic style draws elements from cognitive-behavioral model, strength’s-based approach, motivational interviewing, and solution focused to name a few. My approach is friendly, non-judgmental interjecting both constructive criticism and even humor at times. Change is a process that can be undertaken at any stage of your life. Just because today does not align with your goals, does not reflect what you can achieve tomorrow. My hope is that together we can help you identify skills and techniques to get your life back in the direction you want to go.

A warm hello and congratulations on taking this important step in improving your well-being and enhancing your future. Life's circumstances, our ongoing internal struggles, or both, can result in situations where we are compelled to reach out for help. This is a natural part of the human experience, especially today, in complicated times. I have 17 years of experience providing clients with compassionate guidance to identify realistic solutions for the challenges that face us all. I use varying approaches to build and enhance the therapeutic relationship. I am consistently mindful about a person's capacity and readiness to explore growth. Therapy can be invigorating and lead a person to emerge from frustrating, and, at times, demoralizing ruts. Chronic anxiety, depression, anger, drug and alcohol abuse, process addictions (shopping, food, TV are examples) are distressing and rob us of enjoying what life has to offer. There are proven pathways to well-being. In some cases, despite great effort, we are not able to see the way through a difficult situation by ourselves. This is the moment for professional intervention. By the time people seek therapy typically they have been struggling with their issues for a long while and have not been able to attain meaningful resolution. My breadth of knowledge and experience will permit us to begin working right away. I can help you get on your way to a fuller, happier life. My approach is primarily Existential Therapy, which means discussion about what is meaningful for you in the present. This involves understanding relevant parts of the past, with a view towards the future. I am well-versed in Psychodynamic and Attachment theories, which help pinpoint places in our history where false narratives about the self and the world may have taken root, leading to problems in the present. Finally, Client-Centered Theory is always part of the therapeutic environment, meaning that I will consistently monitor your timing for change and provide non-judgmental feedback and support as we go. I am a Master's graduate of a private, well-respected and accredited university where I was trained in both mental health and marital, couple, and family therapy. I also hold a certification in Addiction Counseling from another major private institution. Addictions can be more than drugs and alcohol, which means they can be overlooked or underestimated in their harmful effects. I continually read and become educated in my field to add to my fund of knowledge to serve my clients better. Let's get started finding real solutions now.
