Great to meet you!

I engage my clients with a strengths-based perspective. I specialize in helping individuals facing difficult decisions, stress, family concerns, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I will work with you to identify your values and construct creative, practical ways to break old patterns, develop resilience, and solve problems.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have a holistic, integrative approach which views emotional health as grounded in a practice of mindfulness, committed actions, and self-care.

What you can expect from our first session
