I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I partner with individuals and families in the therapeutic process. As a collaborative therapist I believe that judgments are for courtrooms, and that no one has to do it all alone. My therapeutic approach is relationship based and person-centered. This relationship is a partnership with the purpose of engaging in conversations to reach a deeper understanding and encourage growth and change. Maybe you have a difficult child or you're grieving a loss. Whether your struggle is depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, addictive tendencies, resurfacing childhood trauma, etc., there can be relief.

When someone takes the step to seek support through life’s challenges, it is an act of courage and hope. When I work with a new client, I am partnering with them to create a vision and path for how they might understand themself, their story, and their relationships more deeply. I strive to create a safe environment for clients to explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving to more succesfully navigate the challenges of life and to move toward wholeness and healing.

I have 15+ years experience working with diverse individuals and I hope to create a safe space for you to explore whatever is important to you.

I probably don’t need to tell you we’re living in a racist, sexist, heteronormative, capitalist dystopian nightmare in a slow and painful collapse. It’s hard to cope with that knowledge while dealing with day-to-day nonsense, on top of reliving past trauma on a regular basis. It’s a lot and it’s heavy and it sucks. Some people turn to substances and other vices to cope.

My ideal client is inspired to be curious together and work together to identify and remove blockages that prevent a life of clarity and abundance. Whether relationship issues, parenting challenges, grief, unresolved trauma, addiction, career matters, or even the most deeply-stuck moods (anxiety, depression, etc.), we all possess within us the capacity to instinctively heal and thrive with sustained connection, vibrancy and aliveness. It’s likely a simple solution, in need of the right "non-pathological" and rigorously client-centered approach is all. My clients are empowered to reconnect with and regain trust in themselves.

I am the best fit for a family who has children between the ages from birth to 24 years old. I offer support to families who are struggling with challenging behaviors from their children and adolescents in home or at school. I offer a unique systemic approach that includes parents in the treatment process that is not found in many other practices. This systemic approach is extremely affective and helps keep parents in the loop and helps families complete the treatment goal faster than other approaches. As I believe therapy for children should be brief and solution focused so they can get back to being a kid.
