My ideal client is curious about themselves and the world and actively participates in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with young adults and older adults, but I'm not limited to these populations. My ideal client is at a place of feeling "stuck" in their life. Whether that be a career transition, deciding on a college major, feeling lost in a relationship, or a new onset of symptoms. I am also comfortable with helping individuals unpack their past to understand their current habits. My ideal client wants to understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to develop self-awareness and self-compassion along the way.

With adults and teens, I draw on CBT and attachment techniques to strengthen connection and communication within families and help clients gain insight, develop a healthy identity, and meet their goals. With couples, I use the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach to resolving conflict, feeling understood, and increasing emotional connection.

I have a passion for finding humor even in tough situations, and laughter is a key part of my life. What I cherish most in my work is witnessing those "aha" moments where individuals gain clarity and grow towards their goals. Helping people recognize their potential and self-worth has been my focus for over twenty years as I support them through mental health and life challenges. For me, it's crucial to keep learning and growing alongside them. I believe therapy serves different purposes for each person, but the core element is having a safe space to be authentically oneself in all their messy, wonderful glory.
