Great to meet you!

My desire is to help clients create a more positive and productive life experience in order to transform their lives and break the cycle of self-defeating behaviors. Life is not meant to be just endured, but enjoyed. We all deserve a chance to reach our fullest potential despite experiences which have created limited core beliefs and hold us back in self- destructive patterns of depression, anxiety, fear, and guilt. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience.

My approach to therapy

I've found diverse populations especially enjoyable and find both teenagers and adults resilient, and responsive to a non-pathological approach, despite past traumas and diagnosis. My goal is to help clients transform the difficulties of the past into strengths of the future.

What you can expect from me

Humor, flexibility and openness to change and new knowledge will always be a core focus in my practice. I have studied, psycho-drama, psycho-synthesis, emdr, tft, Ifs and trauma techniques as well as life coaching and will utilize any technique I feel is applicable or helpful and beneficial to the client.
