Great to meet you!

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out to a therapist for help with life's difficult challenges, and to find hope in the midst of struggle. It is my joy as a therapist, and as a human being, to help individuals find that hope within themselves. I have many years of experience helping individuals of all ages with anxiety, depression, relationship and communication issues, anger management, PTSD, childhood trauma, ADHD, substance use and grief and loss. I especially enjoy working with young people trying to navigate these challenges. I also work with couples and older adults. Grief and loss is an area of expertise.

My approach to therapy

I am commited to providing a warm and welcoming space where you can feel safe and grounded. As you tell your story, I will focus on your strengths and use humor whenever possible. This approach helps you move forward as you find self-acceptance. You will become more in touch your most authentic self and feel more connected to yourself and others.

I use a blend of evidenced based therapies starting with Person Centered Therapy where you decide the path forward with me as your guide. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy begins with helping you recognize thoughts that are not helpful for you, then considering positive narratives you can believe in. This helps you take big steps in your journey.

What you can expect from me

Whatever you are struggling with, do not be afraid to pick up the phone and call. You will find an experienced counselor with an understanding and compassionate ear. We will work together to find your unique and personalized path to wellness.
