Great to meet you!

I love helping people rediscover their best selves to navigate through life's challenges. My clinical background includes serving those with depression, life adjustment challenges, personal and medical crisis, and family and relationship issues. I am collaborative, empathic, and light hearted, and will focus on being fully present with you.

My approach to therapy

My style is strengths-focused, direct, positive-minded, and systems-oriented. I utilize breath work, relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and humor as tools to get unstuck and move through issues you are facing.

My undergraduate degree is in Behavioral Science, and my post-grad degree is in Family Psychology.

What you can expect from me

I strongly believe you have everything you need within you to make it through the toughest times in life, and I will work with you to find and develop these inner strengths and gifts. You and I will work together as a team to help you reach your goals. I am honest and direct in general, especially in the therapeutic setting, as I believe this is the best way to build trust and understanding together. I look forward to meeting you!
