Great to meet you!
I'm passionate about helping couples and families thrive. I enjoy working with clients who want to improve their relationships (even divorced couples who are coparenting.)

My approach to therapy
I believe that therapy should be tailored to the client and their needs, and not the preferences of the therapist. Therefore I take an eclectic approach, using modalities that are specific to the issues being presented. I draw from psychodynamic theory, family systems, reality therapy and cognitive behavioral approaches. I am a trauma-informed therapist and have completed additional training to bring an LGBT-affirming and anti-racist lens to the work I do.
What you can expect from me
Our sessions will be participatory and action-oriented. My hope is that you leave with insight and action steps.
