Life is hard. I guide individuals, couples and families toward a kinder, happier, and more manageable life. My approach is strengths-based, as we work together to develop solutions that guide you back toward yourself with tools that support everyday living. These challenges can often include depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement, relational trauma, couples conflicts, and general life crisis. My goal is to help you create a process to create boundaries and sort through your emotional obstacles in order to manage life.
Drawing from my expertise, I find it useful to offer modalities such as behavioral, cognitive, interpersonal, and supportive, customizing my approach to the unique needs of each client. By combining these evidence-based approaches, I strive to create a therapeutic experience that is comprehensive, empathetic, and personalized.
The way we build physical muscle is similar to the way we build emotional strength, one session at a time. With new practices the goal is for you to gain confidence for a more meaningful life. When we heal ourselves from the inside out, we transform the way we show up in the world. This is a person focused approach: it’s all about you.
