I prefer using strength-based approaches including Person Centered, Solution Focused, Narrative, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients identify, utilize and increase personal strengths to resolve difficult circumstances and manage their emotions.
I enjoy working with clients of all ages, genders, orientations, and backgrounds as they navigate through the challenges of life. I believe that everyone's story is unique and that it needs to be told in a comfortable and safe place, free of judgement. Many of the clients I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, vulnerable, afraid of making changes, and/or wondering how they will make it through the unexpected changes they are faced with. Some have experienced trauma. I help clients understand why they are suffering from certain symptoms as well as help them identify maladaptive thinking and coping skills.

I take a person-centered approach that combines a variety of techniques in order to help people better understand themselves, their role in the world, and to help people create the life they want to live.
It can feel overwhelming and hopeless when you feel misheard, misunderstood, and as though you're having the same repetitive arguments or running into the same struggles. You are looking to develop healthier relationship patterns, deepen understanding of yourself, build stronger connections with current and future loved ones, and move through past hurts. You want to build a stronger sense of trust within yourself and feel confident that you're acting in alignment with who you truly are. Your needs are important, and you want to start listening to YOU again - or maybe for the first time!
