About

Congratulations on your decision to grow and excel. Whether your challenges are individual, interpersonal, or professional, I am here to help. I have extensive experience and education to help you on YOUR journey. Together, we will move the obstacles in your life so you can move forward to find peace, fulfillment, and achievement.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who chose this profession after a successful career in the business world due to my own desire to learn how to create a better life/work balance and to grow personally and to have more fulfilling relationships. I have extensive experience in treating mood disorders (specifically depression and anxiety, including bipolar, social anxiety, and panic attacks); personality disorders (specifically attachment , narcissistic, and codependent); and addiction (drug, alcohol, porn, and cyber); and professional interpersonal conflict and personal relationship difficulties. As a former entrepreneur, I also enjoy providing Career, Life/Balance, and Leadership Coaching.

My therapeutic approach is ultimately Solution-focused, using Humanistic, CBT (Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) specifically), Narrative, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Effective Communication skills and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help you navigate your own life's challenges and overcome obstacles that are preventing you from living your most joyous and fulfilling life.

I will encourage you to set your own goals and to discover and grow at your own pace to ensure that our sessions are enjoyable and rewarding. If I can be happy about one thing about getting older, it would have to be the varied and extensive experience (professional and personal) I have gained throughout life that extends well beyond my education alone. Those experiences allow me to approach your challenges with a combination of understanding, compassion, and wisdom together with formal education and training to provide superb therapeutic results.

You can do this - I can help.
