I believe therapy can serve as a potent and powerful conduit for healing, a place where you can say the things that you often don't, a cozy nest for sharing your most vulnerable self in search of hope and meaning, a platform for decision-making and action as you forge your way through change and growth. I believe it is our right and journey as humans to find and create a life of meaning. Our suffering is often the result of old behaviors, old traumas, old ways of thinking that we cling to in fear. And I believe that each individual is unique, with strengths, hopes, and challenges.

Sometimes life can throw us a curve ball and we need some help navigating the unexpected. Most of us will seek therapy at some point in our lives, but that doesn’t make asking for help any easier. For many of us, that is the most difficult step. I specialize in a strengths-based, person-centered approach that helps my clients learn to challenge their own automatic thought patterns in a way that frees them to create the future they desire rather than be a slave to automatic thinking. Strongly believing in a collaborative approach to therapy where we work together as a team, I consider myself a guide as we work toward your goals.

My therapeutic style is warm, curious, collaborative, and interactive. I take a strengths-based, holistic approach to therapy, understanding that no one exists in a vacuum. I will work with you to understand how all the systems (family, work, & societal) you interact with throughout life impact you. There is no one size fits all approach in therapy, with every person bringing their own authenticity and individualized life contexts, thus I tailor therapy to meet you where you are. As I walk alongside you on your growth and healing journey, I will also look for little ways to find laughter and joy amongst any pain and truth.
