Effective therapy starts with the relationship between the therapist and the client. My goal is to foster an empathetic and trustworthy relationship so you can explore what is it that your struggling with in a non-judgmental place. I believe that insight, along with action, can help to make lasting positive change. Many struggle with our past, feel stuck with our current situation, or are overwhelmed with fear of the future. This can lead to behaviors that aren't congruent with the goals we have in mind for ourselves. I want to help you coordinate your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to ultimately get you to a place of happiness.

My approach to therapy is one of empowerment and self-discovery. I emphasize working with individual, couples and families in a collaborative environment to help them realize their inner strength and resiliency. With the use of self-exploration and mindfulness techniques clients discover how to overcome and work through the issues or areas of need that are currently affecting them. I place equal emphasis on the individual, as well as the systems in our lives and how the two of them combine to shape the person we are today.

Talking with a compassionate person to identify key themes that are causing you pain can help you achieve the health you desire. Too often we feel stuck and alone with problems that seem unmanageable. With the right therapist, one learns to move beyond what is standing in the way of a more fulfilling life. Whether your struggles are with yourself, relationship, children or a situation we work together to create a more meaningful life.
