About

I am an active and engaging therapist capable of creating strong therapeutic partnerships mingled with humor, thoughtfulness and genuine directness. I believe people can transcend their difficulties and become stronger and more confident in facing life's toughest choices. Working together, I can help you find a place of acceptance and self-love where you feel safe and can pursue whatever next level you choose. I appreciate how hard it is to reach out for help and encourage you to embrace the journey of taking care of you. On my end, I would be honored to be a part of it.
I am a generalist with a spiritual edge, and have helped a significant number of clients struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, OCD and work-related issues. My work with clients from various backgrounds, cultures and ages has given me a broad understanding of the challenges faced in our fast-paced world.
IF WE EMBARK ON A JOURNEY TOGETHER, I will be your compassionate ally as we explore your unique emotional makeup; Guide you in thinking through your barriers, real or imagined; Help you tap into your inner motivation and shape it into a concrete and pragmatic action plan.
