Great to meet you!

I have a flair for helping people effect positive change in their lives. Hurt, pain, and anger do not define who we are; they open our emotional pathways to inform us of the need and time for change. Depression is usually an indication of the depth of personal disruption, so when it’s appropriate, I offer advice to validate feelings, encourage healing, and dismantle irrational thinking.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use the psychodynamic approach to assist individuals and couples in changing behaviors, feelings, thoughts, and attitudes that negatively impact their day-to-day functioning and poorly influence the trajectory of their relationships.

What you can expect from our first session

My offices are comfortable safe spaces to talk about difficult things and make tough decisions. The road to emotional wellness can be painful and challenging, so I try very hard to be encouraging and supportive while change is occurring.
