Great to meet you!

I work well with children, adolescents and adults, parents, couples and families. I work with helping people improve their self concept, eliminating negative thoughts that disturb our peace of mind. I help people through transitions in their life, trauma, whether that be changes in school/work, relationships, grief and loss, moves, retirement, recreating themselves etc. I help individuals, couples and families communicate in a way that betters their interpersonal relationships. I work with past grief and traumas that get in the way of healthy life functioning. I help people move toward a balanced and happier overall way of life.

I offer an interpersonal style of therapy and I use many modalities and much experience to help individuals, couples and families work through difficulties they may be facing or helping work toward living a more aware, peaceful life. Check out my website for more information. My clients say that they are put at ease with me immediately and I help them.

I am here to listen with a trained ear and help with a easy warmth that will allow you to be gentler with yourself as you become the you that you dreamed to be.

My approach to therapy

My clients have written that I have an easy way of allowing them to feel vulnerable and empowered to work towards higher quality of life. I use a multimodal approach combining cognitive behavioral work with solution focused, and many other approaches as needed such as EMDR and Gottman Strategies.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a warm encouraging listener who has the expertise to give them tools and strategies even their first session to help them begin their journey.
