Personal Statement

Have you ever observed how much of human behavior is driven by our basic human needs for balance and connection? Think about the ways we risk and reach for our partners. Think about how you cope when you feel lonely or rejected or the ways you mask the discomfort of feeling overwhelmed or depressed. It might show up as an eating disorder, conflict in your relationship or sexual issues, even stress at work. If you feel the ways you navigate life stressors are not as effective as you would like I am here to help. I see therapy as a safe, secure place to work through life’s challenges in a collaborative, non-judgemental environment.

My process is to be your guide as you increase self awareness, achieve new perspectives, minimize preconceived assumptions and expand personal strengths. I primarily encourage a holistic approach to mental health incorporating nutrition, exercise, nurturing relationships, proper sleep, engaging in rewarding activities and mindfulness.

My primary specialty is relationships issues and trauma for which I use EMDR and EFT. Whatever brings you to counseling, rest assured that I will treat you with respect, empathy and understanding that life can be challenging. I get that sometimes you need someone to walk alongside you through your struggles and your pain. I am committed to doing just that.
