About

I have over 10 years of experience helping Individuals foster self-confidence, work through personal difficulties, including recent or past trauma, and transform dysfunctional connections into healthy, passionate, and successful relationships. My clients have said they appreciate my nonjudgement stance, gentleness, warmth, and empathic approach. 
Most of my clients have seen multiple therapists before contacting me. Specializing has played a critical role in my being able to help clients solve what had previously not been a sustainable change. I truly believe there are answers and solutions no matter how many times you have been down this road before. I have seen similar cases repeatedly, it is probable this won’t be my first time helping a client with a concern similar to yours.
I empower my clients with the knowledge, tools, and courage to overcome life’s toughest challenges. My clients appreciate my blend of knowledge, empathy, and my down to earth approach to therapy. I create a safe and empowering space where clients can learn to love and accept themselves and reconnect with their authentic self, intuition, and voice.
My specialties include working with individuals and couples suffering in toxic relationship challenges and transitions (Narcissist and Borderline Personality Disorder), interfaith marriages, survivors of relational acute trauma, individuals suffering from depression and anxiety, professionals navigating career challenges, sex therapy, recovery after affairs, attachment styles, a healthy committed relationship, empower dating, reconstruct relationships, and LBGTQ affirmative. I tailor my therapy to meet the needs of each client and couple.
