Great to meet you!

Over the last 10 years I have helped individuals, couples, and families face an array of life's challenges. I strive to create an environment where my clients feel safe and understood as they deal with issues such as life transitions, relationship issues, motherhood, parenting and co-parenting, and life after divorce.

My approach to therapy

I use a collaborative approach in order to meet clients where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs and goals. This is your life to live and your storied experience, so it's my job to connect and help guide you where you want to go. My approach frequently draws from narrative therapy and family systems, but I utilize techniques from models such as ACT and CBT.

What you can expect from me

I always begin with the first session being an opportunity for you to share your story and where your current struggles are. From there, I want to create a safe environment where you feel comfortable joining with me to work towards overcoming any hurdles and reaching your goals.
