I use an integrated, person-centered and wholistic approach to therapy.
I work with people experiencing a variety of symptoms and diagnoses including but not limited to anxiety, depressive, personality disorders, psychosis, life adjustments, teenage challenges and men's issues. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental space for people to process difficult situations, identify adaptive ways to address symptoms and make change to behavior that aligns with their belief systems, which often results in increased life satisfaction. I specialize in helping people that feel stuck and helping them create a new path forward. I also do a lot of work with men's issues and general skill building.

I am passionate about working with families, couples, and individuals who are managing both physical and mental health conditions or couples/families going through various life transitions, and relational stress. We don't exist in isolation, especially when on the long journey of chronic health care. I work within an integrated and collaborative care model, viewing the problem from a holistic standpoint and alongside other members of the care team in order to best serve all areas of the client's life. What does this chapter of life look like? What is possible?
