Life can be hard. Help is here for you. Challenges and problems are part of life. It's good to reach out for help. You are the expert in your life, in your goals, values and aspirations.

I provide brief solutions-focused psychotherapy to help clients assess personal and professional functioning, clarify goals, and strengthen social and emotional skills. I specialize in brief online relationship counseling. Online counseling allows clients to seek help as needed, engage in therapy at a schedule that's convenient to them, and keep their counselor as they progress through life. I work with LGBTQ and hetero clients on individual, couple, and alternative relationship concerns. Clients explore issues that impact their professional and personal relationships, including communication, power dynamics, and intimacy. I accept US$ and cryptocurrencies.

"Those who look outside, dream; they who look inside, awake."-Carl Jung. Why seek therapy? Because, among other reasons, life sometimes has a way of telling us who we should be, instead of letting us be ourselves. A spouse, a family member, a job, an internal voice that will not quiet; it's tough to speak for ourselves when we're being told by so many. Happiness and confidence are not found in being what you are told to be, but in listening to the internal voice of your heart and finding the courage to follow it. The challenge lies in quieting the voices, the anxiety and the fear and allowing your heart to speak. Therapy provides the space to create the silence.

I help individuals and couples get what they want out of life. Great lives are possible, but somehow we're not always taught how to get them while growing up. The reason for that is that everyone's "great life" is different from everyone else's and it's achieved differently from everyone else. Focusing on you and your life is a direct route to figuring out what has been bothering you and why. And moving forward, we figure out how to effectively make happen what you want to happen.

I provide a nurturing and structured space where you can get to the root of your issues in as short of time as possible.

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, practical, and focused on creating lasting change both inside and outside of sessions. I provide a supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to develop their own solutions.

Sessions are active, goal-oriented, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
