Great to meet you!

I connect with clients by listening and exploring without judgement. Clients have told me they appreciate my compassion, finding it easy to talk with me about difficult issues. Psychotherapy is a process of self-discovery where you learn why you do what you do, as well as how to change behaviors. Many hide their authentic self, conforming to the expectations of others. Psychotherapy can assist you in becoming reacquainted with yourself.

My approach to therapy

Together, we will work on interpersonal issues to create more satisfying relationships, gather insight as to why you developed certain "coping strategies," and learn replacement strategies to those no longer working in your life.

What you can expect from me

We will synthesize and actuate your goals. We will achieve new insights using psychological tools including various modalities and techniques based on your needs. As a mother of two with diverse life experience and training, I am knowledgeable and passionate about what I do. I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
