Great to meet you!

My primary training is in cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy with adolescents, and motivational interviewing. Other techniques such as play therapy may be used when appropriate. I’ve worked with people from a wide variety of cultures ranging from ages 3 to 95.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style focuses on looking beyond the surface. It’s important for me to discover who you are and then to equip you to find solutions to whatever challenges you’re facing. I believe people most benefit most from a therapeutic relationship that promotes growth and strength.

What you can expect from me

My goal is for you to leave every session with the ability to feel hopeful and understood. Ultimately I want every patient to not need my help, and the sooner the better. If you feel like you’re not taking something tangible away from our work, tell me and we can make adjustments.
