Great to meet you!

I love to get to know my clients. I am here to help you find out what is in your way. You are NOT broken. You do not need fixing. You have goals, and our job together is to figure out what gets in the way of you getting there. We will develop a plan and, before you know it, you will learn about yourself and you will start to see the changes that YOU make to help yourself reach your goals!

My approach to therapy

I focus on a Mindfulness-based, dialectical behavioral therapy approach. We can hold two opposing truths at the same time-- in fact, we have to, if we want to make any progress in life at all.

What you can expect from me

Therapeutic relationships are real relationships. You can expect me to be curious about you and what is important to you. I want to know you and what is important to you. This isn't just my job. Spending time with my clients is my passion. It's not work. It's so much more. It's an honor for people to share their lives with me.
