I believe deeply in the power of relationships and in the human capacity for healing. The therapeutic relationship is a powerful force that can lead to lasting and intentional ways of understanding yourself and helping you get back on your path to leading a fulfilling life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment injuries, or simply want to understand your inner experience better, you are welcome just as you are.

I have had the privilege of working with children ages 6-13, young adults ages25-45yrs. With specialized training in relational, attachment, and trauma informed modalities, my approach as a therapist is to help you better understand yourself in relation to others and to honor the life experiences that have shaped you.

Choosing to come to therapy is a step towards health and a better quality of living. It is a first step towards restoring a sense of mastery, facilitating personal growth, and working towards a more satisfying life.
