• Psychotherapist in Private Practice

  • Oct 2015 - Present

  As a psychotherapist, I guide clients through the layers of communication and emotional challenges in interpersonal relationships through individual, couple and/or family therapy. I work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds, who are often managing depression, anxiety, relational conflict, family issues, bereavement, abuse, and PTSD. The overall clinical goals as a therapist are to help clients identify dysfunctional patterns which have kept them from living more fulfilling lives. My belief is in applying a holistic perspective in treatment that includes exploring the spiritual, emotional/mental, and physical wellbeing of a person. My primary focus is on empowering clients to achieve a healthy level of self-awareness, develop new skills to better cope with life’s challenges, and build towards positive progressive change.
