I use specific styles of therapy, including Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT), Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) as a way to help guide the therapeutic process.
If you are looking to connect with yourself and others more deeply and feel confident in the decisions you make in your life, then I’m here to come along side and help you reach those goals. My approach to the therapy process is collaborative so that together we can work to accomplish your goals. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low mood, past trauma, relationship issues, or a life transition, we can work together to uncover underlying emotions that have been buried by protective mechanisms and navigate the blind spots so that you can gain clarity and calmness in your self and in your relationships.

I believe we all come into this life with trauma, whether it was inherited from ancestors or past generations or personally experienced in our lives, big or little T, none of us are exempt. This trauma tends to subconsciously inform our lives through our conditioned beliefs, patterns and behaviors. We all have a purpose, big or small and we all have the ability to heal our past traumas and live a conscious, fulfilled and purposeful life. My purpose is to help, guide and support others along their own healing journeys.

I think we all can have a time in our lives where we reach a problem or a series of problems and are faced with the question of "how do I get through this?" or "what should I do?" Regardless of what brought you to that crossroad, therapy is a useful means to help you figure out what to do next. Your time is important and your life is meant to be full of happiness. We all are transitioning from something and have to make the choice about what is best for us. Live your life and enjoy it.

If you are a parent who is feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, hopeless or exhausted over your kiddo or young adult’s challenges, or are someone who is dealing with your own anxiety, sadness or relationship struggles, I get it. It’s so common to feel isolated and alone with our overactive thoughts and feelings or our concerns about whether we are raising our precious offspring in a way that will give them grit and resilience to face life's obstacles. Sometimes we just need someone in our corner. I would love to be on your team and support you with strategies to create the life you want for yourself and your family. I'm glad you're here

It does take courage to set up that first appointment, and the fit between therapist and client is an important one for the success of therapy. I encourage my clients to ask questions and express concerns about therapy and determine whether my approach and style are a good fit for you. Some common reasons people seek therapy have to do with self-exploration, how to communicate better with people, and how to cope with stressful life situations. My approach is a collaborative one and goal oriented. My focus is to support you find healthier coping skills to manage the challenging situations life might bring.
