My practice is dedicated to helping individuals effectively navigate life challenges. My approach is non-judgmental and supportive. I strongly believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship. Because of the vulnerability involved in exploring your feelings, it is imperative that you feel safe and trusting of me. Together, we will process your feelings. This often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and better coping skills. My focus is to collaborate with you on creating your personal goals and to offer you a comfortable environment to work through issues that are causing you unhappiness.

My clinical work has included helping individuals and families cope with life transitions, identity and acceptance issues, relationship difficulties, and healing from traumatic experiences.
I enjoy working with individuals and families to overcome barriers in communication, solve problems, and become more self-aware; with the overall goal of improving mental and physical well-being. I use a compassionate, accepting, and mindful approach to create a safe place where self-discovery and healing are possible. Working together will include goal setting and an exploration of the resources and tools available to help in meeting short and long term goals.

I strive to help individuals break down dysfunctional ways of relating to the people they love and help them build on their relationship strengths.
I combine compassion with knowledge of scientifically based methods in my work with clients, which is both supportive and goal-oriented. I find meaning in helping individuals navigate both normal developmental transitions and crisis periods in their lives. I use an integrative approach to therapy, focusing on both gaining insight into psychological patterns and also developing mindfulness in one's every day life. By employing techniques grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Attachment Theory I tailor my work to each client's needs.

My experience includes, but is not limited to, anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, grief, trauma, OCD, self-esteem, women's issues, and life transitions/stress.
There are times in life when our struggles seem unbearable and overwhelming to deal with on our own. Therapy can be a wonderful resource to help unpack those heavy emotions and navigate the difficult times. As a trained therapist, I am here to guide and support you through those difficult times. My goal is to help you gain insight and a new perspective to your current circumstances, as well as help create effective coping skills. I am committed to providing a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to become the best version of themselves.

I help with grief, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and parenting stress.
I have been in the other seat and done the important work of healing and I feel so honored and grateful every day to partner with others on their own path to healing. My approach to counseling is gentle, encouraging and nurturing, although I can be direct when it is helpful. My support is unconditional and without judgement.

I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, creative, evidence-based, results-oriented, flexible, and holistic. People often arrive at psychotherapy when they want to deal with problems, alleviate emotional suffering, make a change, move in a new direction, or find well-being. I try to balance acceptance and change, acknowledging that the first step towards change is accepting reality. I think the therapeutic relationship needs to be a real and genuine connection. I value being kind, genuine, thoughtful, direct, honest, and playful as a person and a therapist.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
