I became a therapist following a dream and my mission to help people navigate life. My goal is to help people find a true purpose and meaning in their life. We all strive to connect, be valued and appreciated and find a meaningful belonging with the people that are the most important in our lives. When that doesn't happen organically, we often experience distress and emotional disbalance. I help people reduce and eliminate these feelings and reconnect connections that are lost or missing. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults and couples.

“What’s the problem?” rather than “Who’s the problem?” or “Who’s at fault?” is the focus of the therapy process I use with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. It is not always easy to accept that what you’re doing to improve things for yourself and/or for others is not working, which in turn can often make it difficult to seek help. If you’re ready to work at trying a different approach to improving the quality of life for yourself and others, then you have already begun to increase the chances of positive changes and improvement in the problems and issues you struggle with.
