Hello and welcome to Horizon.
"For what it’s worth: It’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life
you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald.
First and foremost, I want to commend you on your exploration of active change in your life. It is no small feat to acknowledge a need and move toward embracing a life you can be proud of as your authentic self. In these current times, saying life can be unpredictable or extremely difficult to manage successfully, would be an understatement. I understand the stressors of life, and my intention is to help you examine what it is that’s holding you back, while tapping into your inner resources and building upon your current strengths. Self-exploration is powerful and courageous. Through authentic connection and shared openness, growth and healing can occur.
I am passionate about helping individuals, children, couples, and families cope with a range of issues including low self-esteem, anger management, emotional regulation, trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships, and life transitions. I utilize the empirical findings of psychological research to employ creative, holistic, culturally attuned interventions. My style is an intentional mix of challenging, stimulating, affirming and, when appropriate, humorous. I am your listening ear, your welcoming confidant, your cheerleader, and your ever-present ally in dismantling maladaptive defense mechanisms that may no longer serve you while implementing new boundaries and coping skills that bring you closer to your ideal self.
It is my mission to provide a safe and accepting environment in which you can delve into and work through difficult changes, choices, and life events. Together, we explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, examine their origin, find meaning, and work towards achieving healthier ways to empower your true voice and build satisfying connections from a place of congruence and confidence and not fear and protection.
I would feel honored to navigate these next steps with you on your journey of healing and
growth.
