I use a person-centered approach when working with clients.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I enjoy working with children, individuals, couples, and families on developing healthier ways of perceiving, communicating, and interacting with ourselves and with one another. Life can just happen so quickly that we sometimes forget to appreciate the people and things around us. I want to help slow down these moments and to build upon what matters which are our own self-worth and the relationships in our life.

Are events in your life leaving you feeling lost or on shaky ground? Do you feel stuck as a result of things happening outside of your control? So often this leads folks to feel overwhelmed and at a loss of hope. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where you can discuss experiences and process emotions with the central goal of reaching a new level of insight. With new insight comes new solutions. I respect the experience of my clients and understand the extent to which trauma can complicate how a person sees themselves and their place within the world.

I smile at the paradox that even though I'm a work in progress, with problems of my own, I can try to help others navigate the challenges they are facing. Each of us lives a unique and complex life, populated with our own ambitions, friends, routines, fears, and inherited craziness. Our lives create an epic story that continues invisibly around you with elaborate and meaningful experiences. At times we can feel stuck, unhappy, or even lost. Each time we consciously work with our pain, we are working towards a more nuanced understanding of ourselves - an understanding that is less binary and more inclusive of our humanity.

I am passionate about helping you heal & grow. I provide a comfortable, non-judgmental & supportive atmosphere where you can process difficult emotions, gain awareness of what keeps you in suffering, & integrate newfound insights to bring relief. I am sensitive to the ways your past experiences & future anxieties impact your present. When traumatic events or unexpressed feelings are left unattended we can become identified with these states and depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship problems and self-sabotage can arise. It can be difficult to make changes & overcome obstacles without support, new tools or insight.
