Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical therapist with over 20 years of experience. My passion is bringing to light hidden elements that may be impairing progress and harmony in your life, and also sorting out together the strategies and coping skills that will create the life you desire. It is with respect and gratitude that I do this work. I want to help my clients find their true selves, which can be hidden under past harms, anxiety, and sometimes behind belief patterns that are not proving helpful.

My approach to therapy

I have an eclectic approach to therapy and take each client’s unique personality and needs into consideration when developing an approach to our work. I use my training as well as years of experience, offering different approaches to improve coping, promote insight and nurture growth. I will help sort out your goals and needs early on to determine if we are good fit.

What you can expect from me

My clients report that their time with me offers space to feel safe and understood. I listen attentively and offer both concrete tools as well as a chance to find true insight. I want you to find your strengths, all while you address things that you struggle with and find new ways to handle. Because a lot of our anxieties take root in our relationships, I focus on understanding the relationships in your life and illuminating any issues as well as offering tools to improve them.
