Great to meet you!

I have over 25 years of experience in helping individuals improve their mood, reduce anxiety, increase self-worth, and improve relationships. If you are experiencing symptoms like depression, lack of motivation, self-judgment, anxious feelings, feeling overwhelmed or deterioration of relationships, I can help.

I use a highly collaborative approach to help you find solutions to your problems. I have worked for years in outpatient and inpatient settings, giving me the understanding and experience needed to help you find healing. I use a strength-based approach which focuses on tapping into and building your strengths to overcome the challenges you face. I combine directness with a nurturing, caring approach.

If you are seeking a therapist, you are experiencing some heavy difficulties in your life or in the life of a loved one. I get it. I am here to help.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use a combination of therapy modalities aimed at meeting your individual needs. My approach is collaborative and emphasizes understanding you within the context of your relationships and life experiences. I believe you need to feel comfortable with your therapist, and I work to make the therapeutic relationship one of trust and understanding.

What you can expect from our first session

My therapy is aimed at increasing hope, reducing discomfort, providing direction to solve problems, and creating the know-how and courage to problem solve on your own.
