Current Waitlist. Looking for and reaching out to a therapist for support takes a lot courage and can be time sensitive. For older teens and adults I enjoy using a relational approach in order to maximize the therapeutic relationship as this is the anchor for treatment. I enjoy the transition from high school through college and beyond as you navigate so many transitions and issues that can arise such as anxiety, eating issues, relationship challenges, mood changes, and large approaching life decisions. I also enjoy working with healthcare providers as burnout rates soar.

My belief is in whole heart healing...that is, healing of the mind, body and soul. I believe that people have the tools to help heal themselves, but with all of the toxic energy that is around us, those tools get buried or are forgotten. I like to see myself as a conduit for the person's change, evolution and healing. The way I work with clients is to help them find those tools within themselves-teach them new ways to use them in order to become healthy and stay healthy. I work with couples and individuals with a focus on women and women's issues.

It takes strength and courage to begin something new; and with a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment, I believe that this is where it all begins. We're human and go through difficult times which can cause us much confusion and a need for guidance, hope, and support. I strongly believe that with an individualized, strength-based, and motivational approach, you can find a new direction and way of thinking to overcome the challenges that we are faced with in our everyday lives.
