Do you feel stuck? That something is missing but you're not sure what? How about that you know what's missing and it's being true to who you are? Throughout the years of experience that I have working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults I have learned that at the basis of all of our life experiences, we all wish to be heard, accepted, and to feel connected to ourselves, others, and our emotions. By being in a safe therapeutic relationship that accepts you as you are, you are able to unburden the heaviness that you've been carrying and with this new feeling of relief, there is hope for something new and healing.

My treatment approach is to partner with my clients in setting goals for therapy and to collaborate with them to achieve those goals. Together we will explore the challenges that may be holding you back and blocking your progress toward leading a happier, more fulfilled life. While working together, we will explore the effects of thoughts, beliefs, physical health, past experience, and the environment on a person’s mental well-being. I use the most recent researched methods and draw from various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavior, person-centered, trauma focused, solution-focused, and strengths-based methods.
