What drives my work as a therapist is my belief in your ability to make positive changes in your life and my dedication to building strong relationships. I take a client-centered, strengths-based, empathetic, whole-person perspective. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated, engaged, and ready to gain self awareness. We'll work together to set goals, explore your past, and learn skills to implement in the future. I'm interested in strengthening your relational health and improving your overall well-being through a holistic approach fueled by my training in lifestyle medicine.
I specialize in working with children, teens, adults, and families, where I build connection and cohesion in relationships. I work teens and young adults to address issues like depression, anxiety, family conflict, social/dating skills, and academic/career concerns. I often work with couples coping with disconnection and communication struggles.
I'd be delighted to talk with you today about if and how I can help you get to where you're seeking to go. Let's talk about what you're striving for and how to embrace strong relationships and a new understanding about yourself to improve your mental wellness.
