Great to meet you!

Balanced living is what I think about how I approach life. Eat right, exercise regularly, and rest consistently. It sounds simple enough, but it can be quite challenging to put into practice. I cannot tell others how to help themselves if I don't practice what I preach.

My approach to therapy

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. What I enjoy most about providing mental health services is assisting people with finding their voices. That usually happens with establishing and communicating clear, healthy boundaries in relationships. I start that process with how you might relate to me--working to develop a therapeutic alliance, building trust, and working collaboratively. I learn as much from you as I might be able to teach you. I don't profess to be an expert on your life because it is your experience. I am privileged to be on your journey to wellness. No matter what may be causing disruption in your life--anxiety, depression, trauma, or the like, I will meet you where you are in your process.

What you can expect from me

I am here to listen to you, wherever you are in your journey. I often ask questions as comments strike me, but I do my best not to interrupt. I really want to hear your story.
