You deserve to live a life that you love. There are many people who see therapy as something intrusive, not necessary or believing that they will be judged. As a therapist, I believe that the connection built between the patient and therapist is the foundation that can lead you to the life that you want to live. My only goal as a therapist is to help you achieve your goals and to see you become happier with the life you are currently living. Yes, sometimes therapy can bring up painful emotions, memories or events, but this pain can lead to growth and a better life. Life is too short to let the traumas of the past or the anxieties of future keep us in powerful emotions like depression and anxiety. I want to help free you from this emotional pain and to be able to deal with the challenges of life, big or small. I want to help you find meaning/purpose in work, family, friendships and all other areas of your life. As a therapist, I have helped individuals, parents, couples and families navigate through the overwhelming of stressors of life. My areas of specialty are all forms of trauma (physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, deaths in the family, and injuries etc.), parent education and child/adolescent issues.
