I am passionate about strengthening children, individuals, and couples by providing a safe and non-judgmental environment. I use a psychodynamic relational approach that recognizes past and present experiences and relationships to impact a person’s current ways of thinking and relating.

In my educational and clinical journey, I have found the Cognitive-Behavioral approach to be of great assistance; however, I am also aware that everyone is unique thereby requiring the addition of other therapies as warranted in my “mental health toolbox”. All theories incorporate an understanding of the desire to change one’s approach to a situation even if the situation continues to exist, let me assist you in the process.
