I utilize a range of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative, Positive Psychology, Solution Focused, and Strength-Based modalities.
Therapy can teach how to handle life obstacles in a healing, healthy way. I understand it can be scary, daunting, and overwhelming to start this journey. It can be easy to isolate yourself, to shove down the pain, or think you can’t be helped. No matter what your struggle is, you don’t have to go through it alone. Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, OCD, trauma, addiction, grief and loss. As your therapist, I aim to help you feel heard, validated, and empowered.

I have a deep appreciation for the transformative power embedded within relational dynamics. Early in my educational journey, I immersed myself in family systems theory and practice, unveiling the unique potency residing in healing connections. I find a special resonance in my work with couples and families and use an integrative approach to relational healing, drawing upon the wisdom of John and Julie Gottman, Esther Perel and Terry Real among others. I recognize that the experiences of trauma and adversity often have relational aspects to them. But so too does our capacity for healing and building resilience.
