Many people experience trauma or other hardships that interfere with their life. Depression and anxiety can make it difficult to function. Extreme emotions can be overwhelming and distracting. I incorporate multiple science based approaches in therapy to make sure that individuals both have the skills to function, and can live their life to their full potential. I am experienced in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is an excellent tool for dealing with unresolved trauma. I will work with you to find the the best tools that will encourage healing and foster growth.

I consider what my client and their environment can bring to their process of healing. I believe that I am an active participant, encouraging the process of change alongside my client. My goal is to offer support and strategies so that my clients can decide for themselves what is appropriate for them. I strive to help my clients gain perspective and a deeper understanding of their lives so they are empowered to make meaningful breakthroughs for themselves. In addition to individual therapy, I enjoy working with couples helping them to relate better with one another or to cope with family issues in healthier ways.

My specialty is couples and families. I mostly work with partners who are struggling with communication issues, infidelity, trust, and conflict.

Sometimes, life is just hard! You think you have it all together and then something happens and you realize you just can’t keep going on in the same way. You need new and healthy coping skills, a different kind of support and a better connection and guidance. To me, that’s where finding a great therapist comes in. Find a therapist who believes that everyone has strengths and the capacity to live a life full of joy, happiness and wholeness; like I do. Lastly, find a therapist who will take your healing journey with you, be your cheerleader, yet also gently hold you accountable for your ultimate goals; like I will.
