Great to meet you!

I strive to provide acceptance, compassion, and empathy allowing each individual the space to explore what gives meaning, value, and purpose in their lives. One of the most important factors in healing is being heard and understood. Collaboratively, we will work to help you cultivate a greater awareness of obstacles hindering you from living a fully engaged life, making sense of your needs, and draw from the appropriate modalities to assist in developing solutions to enhance your life.

My approach to therapy

Through an eclectic theoretical approach, I draw from a variety of methods to adapt to what is needed at the time. I use a strength-based perspective and have training and experience in Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma Informed Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Grief Therapy, Pet loss.

What you can expect from me

If you are interested in spiritually enhancing and expanding your life I am hopeful to hear from you.
