I am a caring, supportive and genuine therapist who works to understand people as individuals and will help clients explore their emotional health from a holistic perspective, including mind, body and soul. I work from an eclectic and client tailored perspective acknowledging that thoughts affect our feelings and behaviors, and that supportive relationships can motivate individual change. I focus on increasing acceptance and compassion, using emotional expression, self awareness and action. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental, and open space to discuss dreams, feelings and goals and to begin accomplishing growth in areas identified. I emphasize the therapeutic values of empathy, authenticity, and validation, and believe in the ability of humans to heal themselves and to become fully actualized through personal insight. I know that change can be a difficult process, but I encourage clients to take that next step with my professional support and guidance— it is more than worth it!

-Self Esteem
-Relationship issues and Communication
-Adjustments and Transitions in Life
-Depression and Anxiety
-Substance Abuse / Dependence
-Trauma
-Health, Wellness and Life Counseling
-Career Counseling
