Life is hard and unpredictable, and we all have struggles within ourselves, with relationships, and with directions in life. As a result, we may experience anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, or simply feeling lost. The recognition of our shared human condition is what motivated me to become a counselor. I bring a wealth of life and professional experiences to the counseling practice with a 20-year career in biotech and business. I believe my life experiences as a parent and professional afford me the broad perspectives to connect with clients and to facilitate personal growth. I'm an EMDR certified practitioner specialize in grief and trauma. Grief may associate with bereavement or non-death losses such as divorce & breakup. Grief & trauma are frequently linked, and I have success treating relational trauma & PTSD. Individual aside, I also specialize in helping couples with communication issues and rebuild common goals in life. I employ a holistic approach toward counseling, not only addressing the symptoms but also focusing on the relational networks. I recognize that the quality of our relationships influence how we see ourselves. Therefore, my goal is to provide an environment for clients to have meaningful engagement with oneself and with others, and to heal, grow, flourish.
