Therapy is a nurturing space to tell your story and get in touch with the many facets of yourself. My background of theater, comedy, and writing sparked a deep interest in my fellow humans and each of their unique stories. I welcome the opportunity to explore your story: What do you want? Which parts of yourself do you reveal to other people? And how would you like that story to change moving forward?

Life and the universe have a way of demonstrating to us what we’re made of, what we’re capable of, and who we may want to be. Making sense of it all, what it may mean, and how to best navigate choppy waters is where I can help. Having a clearer understanding of your identities, values, and beliefs is so influential to your experiences and journey as a human. If you have a desire to explore identity-related experiences and challenges, the current impact of past experiences, and have an openness to learn how to best manage the unknown of the future, you are human, and taking the right first step in seeking support.

The challenge is not to be perfect, it is to be whole-Jane Fonda. So let’s sit down and honor the parts of you that have been stuck in the dark for far too long. Allow me to meet you where you’re at and help untangle your narrative in a safe, creative, and non-judgmental space. My approach to therapy is integrative, incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and creative therapies. The experience will be customized and collaborative. It's okay to not be okay, but why do it alone?

I seek to create an open, accepting and creative environment for this exploration. We can look to understand your goals and challenges, as well as develop more immediate skills in managing disruptive symptoms. In our first session we can discuss what brings you to therapy now, and what you hope to achieve.

When you sit down for an individual or couples therapy session, you can expect me to bring a special type of energy to therapy. I believe that my clients have the ability to create beautiful, long lasting change in order to facilitate more meaningful, loving relationships. I pay close attention to patterns and look to understand a person’s full story before examining the “issue” that’s bringing the client or clients in. I listen to understand and use a nonjudgmental, collaborative approach so that together we can explore, discuss, challenge thoughts and feelings, and create goals.

It's my belief to "Keep life simple." Life is stressful enough. Balancing work, family, social life, friends, and relationships can be overwhelming at times. I practice from a harm reduction holistic theoretical orientation. It combines person-centered (respect for autonomy) with CBT/systemic therapy (a critical look at culture and attachments). By identifying wants and needs, I can assist clients with locating triggers and establishing healthy coping skills to alleviate any mental, emotional, or physical stress. I work particularly with parents and clients dealing with ADHD,career choices, pregnancy, self-esteem and accountability.
