Primarily I work from an Attachment and Family Systems perspective while implementing aspects of Person-Centered and Internal Family Systems Theories.
I am honored to sit with individuals and couples as they wrestle through questions of meaning, purpose, and pain towards joy, hope, and more abundant life. I see it as my role as a counselor to collaborate with clients to help clarify thought patterns, recognize and honor emotions, and work to better navigate the systems which influence outlook and behavior, be they societal, familial, or cultural.

I offer warmth and compassion to develop a strong therapeutic relationship with each client. I create a safe environment so that you are able to get down to your core emotions, then help you further explore those feelings. I believe that this is the key to any lasting change or improvement. Changing thoughts and behaviors is great, and definitely part of what needs to happen in therapy...but that is only temporary, first-order change. Real, LASTING change comes from addressing the underlying feelings and emotions behind those behaviors. This authentic growth is my goal for every client.

Sometimes, life can send us down a path that we never expected to be on. Often the unexpected path can leave us feeling lost, isolated, and hopeless. Whatever it is that started you down this path, know you do not have to walk alone. I utilize a collaborative approach to help clients move along this unexpected path and overcome challenges along the way. The true joy is seeing clients recognize that while this path isn't one, they would have set out on their own, there are truly beautiful steps taken on their journey to healing.

Do others say you're "too sensitive"? Maybe you have lost someone or something and you're finding it difficult to move forward. You are in a battle to reclaim you're stability, freedom, joy, self-confidence, self-worth, self-control, or even a part of yourself. Somehow you have lost your way & you would give just about anything to get back to how life used to be. Or maybe you desire something even better than before. . . .

Your flourishing is my utmost concern as your therapist. I believe that we, as humans, thrive best when we are deeply known and accepted. Our greatest buffer against feelings of loneliness, depression, and chronic-anxiety are healthy relationships.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
