Great to meet you!

I have over 20 years of experience providing therapy for a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I use approaches that honor attachment history, provide help for changing unwanted thought patterns, and honor cultural and spiritual needs.

My approach to therapy

I provide a warm, inviting presence and seek to collaborate with you. If your goal is to develop coping skills for greater contentment and relief from challenging thoughts and emotions, improve communication patterns as a couple or family, find ways to strengthen or develop boundaries in your relationships, or find greater spiritual/existential meaning, I can help.

What you can expect from me

In our work together, I will honor your story and your unique identity as an individual, couple, or family. I will help you see the good parts of yourself that you have underestimated, thereby helping you rekindle a belief in your worth and abilities. I will validate your experience while also gently challenging you to see greater possibilities for yourself.
