After making the courageous decision to pursue therapy, the next step is to find a counselor that you connect with. I view empathy, trust, and being non-judgemental as the cornerstones of therapy and seek to provide a safe and welcoming space. My approach is collaborative and integrative, utilizing evidence-based practices such as mindfulness, CBT, DBT, MI, and Solution-Focused Therapy in a systemic approach anchored in humanistic theory, borrowing from several other orientations. I'm also an EMDRIA approved EMDR therapist.

Sitting in a rocking chair, rocking back and forth, may feel relaxing but I believe that life without therapy is like sitting in that rocking chair, rocking back-and-forth but never actually making any progress or going anywhere. I feel that everyone can benefit from therapy at some point during a lifetime. Daily life has become increasingly more challenging for most individuals. These obstacles challenge the way we live and have brought new levels of fear, isolation and hardships to many. Navigating through these days are difficult, why do it alone when you can get through it with a therapist who will support you along the way?

Seeking help to manage big or little issues is never easy. I try to bring my empathetic straight forward style to my practice, making it a bit easier to begin to address the problems that brought you to my office. I really love what I do and look forward to having the opportunity to work with you.

Do you feel so overwhelmed and numb that you feel everything and nothing at the same time? Do you struggle with self-doubt, low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety? My approach works to address the internal dialogue that contributes to problematic patterns of behavior and painful emotions. I understand how limiting it can be when critical, perfectionistic, or other negative self-talk inhibits you from making the positive changes that you are seeking. I aim to help you become your greatest supporter instead of your biggest critic and to learn to relate with yourself in a new way that promotes growth and healing.

My predominant focus is with couples and families, with a focus in neurodivergence, difficult life transitions, infidelity recovery, intimacy issues, blended family matters, family planning, and trauma. With individuals, I work with trauma, anxiety, ASD and ADHD, depression, LGBTQIA issues, and self esteem building. My main goal is to meet clients where they are in the moment. The focus of treatment is to create a safe space in which people can explore and understand their internal parts and systems, and disrupt old relational patterns that leave them feeling stuck and unsatisfied.
