Great to meet you!

I accompany a wide variety of clients, mostly women of all ages, seeking change, including life transitions, partnerships, addictions, anxiety, depression, pregnancy, infertility, postpartum issues and parenting challenges. I am passionate about making a difference in peoples’ lives and do not shy away from broaching difficult subjects.

My approach to therapy

I have used CBT, mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing extensively most recently and was invited to join the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers in 2022, and thus have the most expertise there. I believe people have their best solutions within them, and if I can facilitate their discovery, that brings meaning and satisfaction to my work and life.

What you can expect from me

Open honest two way communication focused on the client - what brings them to therapy now what goals they have. I use the first session for the client to determine if I am good fit for them. If they think we can make progress toward their goals working together.
