I believe personal growth and healing can come from a strong therapeutic alliance. Change and recovery are possible. I promise to provide a safe, trusting environment where you will feel seen, understood, and accepted as you are. My approach is genuine, creative, and curious. I strive to help you recognize beliefs that are holding you back, more effectively face struggles in your life, and learn skills to develop healthier relationships and a more meaningful life. In the end, the larger goal is to make you a better ally to yourself.
I've worked for years in middle/high schools and community mental health clinics. I specialize in life transitions and identity issues. My clients have had challenges with relationships, schooling/careers, parenting/caregiving, and illness/loss. I draw on psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapies + mindfulness.
It takes great courage to face what Yeats described as the “dark corners” of one’s soul. I welcome the opportunity to meet you and support your exploration and self-discovery.
