I expect to have openings in late July of 2024. Feel free to contact me if you do not need to schedule immediately. Please note that I am an "old school" private practice therapist, and not affiliated with any big box mental health companies.

I provide a confidential and non-judgmental space in your life examine and then act upon 1) leaving your past where it belongs, 2) functioning more effectively in the present, and 3) manifesting your hopes and dreams for the future.

I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs, incorporating evidence-based modalities that have been shown in research studies to provide significant improvement in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Give me a call or set up a free video consult to get a sense of whether we might be a good fit.

I use a lot of IFS and EMDR in my practice, often integrating the two. However if you just want to talk in order to process your feelings and explore your path in life, I am here for that as well. What I rarely do is give advice. I believe that everyone has their own "right answers" inside, and my job is to help you find them.
