"I am here to help you identify what is getting in the way of your happiness, adjustment, success, and relationships and to develop strategies and a new mindset to overcome your obstacles. I can help you learn more about yourself and how you interact with your environment through a supportive and positive therapeutic alliance. Together, we can reshape your attitudes, beliefs, perspectives, communication patterns, and thinking errors that interfere with your ability to feel good within yourself and with others. Through insight-oriented talk therapy paired with cognitive-behavioral strategies, you can develop the power to change how you relate to yourself and your world and ultimately feel more in control, stronger, calmer, happier, valuable, and successful.
In addition, transitions are an essential part of life but are not always easy. I specialize in helping teens and adults navigate through and adjust to various life transitions with the problem-solving, planning, coping, and communication skills they need to realize their true potential. I provide a comfortable, safe, private, non-judgmental setting in which you can explore the many dimensions of yourself and learn to embrace your strengths while reshaping your patterns that cause distress. I enjoy every relationship I share with each client and am inspired by an individual's capacity to evolve and self-actualize at all different stages of life."
