I have a true passion for helping people experience health and wellness in their relationships and in their lives overall. I believe that when our relationships are healthy, we create an environment that allows us to live more freely and more openly share ourselves with others. I understand the loneliness that develops when partners lose their close connection to each other and how frustrating it can be to have the same argument over and over again. I can help you understand your patterns, change them and create the type of relationships you've been longing for.

There are a lot of beautiful things in this world, but there is nothing I have encountered more beautiful and complex than human beings. There is so much depth, mystery, beauty, pain, and meaning in each person's story. I became a therapist because of my longing to hear people's stories and meet them exactly where they are. My greatest passion is caring for people through empathy, understanding, listening, and interceding into life's painful moments. I am committed to offering my clients acceptance, compassion, and unconditional positive regard in the midst of struggle.

Sometimes we get stuck...in patterns that don't serve us, relationships that don't feel fulfilling, or even stuck with unhelpful thoughts. If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, challenges in relationships or life transitions, it can feel difficult to imagine relief. We all have within us the innate capacity to heal from difficult experiences and we deserve to be seen and cared for as our authentic selves. Deciding to explore ways to shift our story and opening up to the possibility of feeling less burdened, is a remarkable step!

Attention is one of the most powerful gifts we can give. I embody this philosophy in my practice by striving to listen well, to understand you, to find the good that has been ignored or buried, and to name themes and beliefs that keep you stuck. I enjoy working with adults who are mired by anxiety, panic, depression, disordered eating, relationship difficulties, compulsions, addictions, or who are having difficulty adjusting to life circumstances. I am highly relational, meaning therapy with me feels like talking to an interested and compassionate friend.

I believe that mental health is at once more complex than we might think and also more easily understood by exploring ourselves and our environment. As an explorer of life, I have traveled the world, connected with people from across the globe, and breathed in the lessons the universe has to offer.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists
How does motivational interviewing work?
Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.
Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?
Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.
How long does motivational interviewing last?
Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.
What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?
In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
