My approach to therapy balances down-to-earth, human connection and clinical expertise. My clients have often learned to rely on shutting down, emotional unavailability in relationships, rebelliousness, substance abuse, distraction, over-achieving, adrenaline seeking, perfectionism, anger, fierce independence, or any manner of escape to get them through life. I focus on empowering my clients to approach emotional experiences and to face their reality with clarity. My goal is to help my clients see their own roadmap to success in their relationships, family dynamics, career goals, health or purpose.

As we are all different, so is each therapeutic relationship. Therefore, no one approach works for all. I strive to meet people just as and where they are. We best serve others by seeing them as a whole within the context of their environment. This includes our: mental wellness/ state of mind, physical/ state of body, and spiritual/ state of soul. Together we will explore the relationship between your beliefs, experiences, and the lens in which you see yourself and the world around you. My practice is person-centered and strength-based; providing insight, advocacy, education and encouragement to help people reach their goals.

If you're looking for a therapist who is going to be real and honest with you, I'm your gal. I'd describe myself as a "no-bullshit" therapist! Let's do the hard work, together! My clients like me because we are able to laugh AND cry together, and I will always hold them accountable for showing up for themselves and their relationships. I usually see couples at their breaking point, who feel lost and disheartened. Marital dissatisfaction is an incredibly lonely place. Maybe you're coping with a recent divorce, in search of couples therapy, or depressed and burnt out from your exhausting job. Let's figure this out together.
