Making lasting changes can be hard! Are you continuing to repeat the same cycles over and over again wondering "how did I get here?" Let's figure it out! When you share your experiences in a space filled with acceptance, genuineness, and warmth, it is easier to find your voice and discover your patterns. As your therapist, I work with you to help you find your path to creating lasting positive changes through healthy decision-making and self-awareness. I believe when you are introduced to effective skills and techniques you will become empowered to be the best version of yourself.

If you or your child are struggling with Depression, Anxiety or Behavioral challenges and you are not quite sure where to start, let us begin the journey towards healing together.

I bring a knowledge of family systems thinking to consultations to broaden your understanding of the challenges experienced in your social, emotional, and physical functioning, as they are opportunities to evolve and increase our Best Self. One aspect of my role is to challenge automatic thinking and perceptions to promote better thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making by developing: a broader way of thinking about and solving relationship problems, ways of managing Self in anxious situations, principles that can guide you in your actions.

If you're feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, or just that life isn't what you think it should be, let's talk.

I use a variety of approaches, depending on the needs of my clients, and we will determine an agreed upon treatment plan so that you know what the goals are. Although it sometimes gets worse before it gets better, it always gets better. Isn't that assurance worth taking the first step? Give me a call.

Welcome! I particularly enjoy working with kids, teens, and adults who have a history of big emotions, and are looking for more insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns.

Have you been in therapy before and it wasn't the best fit? Is this your first time searching for a therapist for yourself or for a loved one? Not sure if your stress in life is “enough” to need therapy? Good therapy is built on a relationship of warmth, empathy, and authenticity. Life can be tough and it can be beneficial to have a therapist who really "gets you" by your side to navigate difficult times. Not all therapy sessions must be intense and serious!
