Great to meet you!

​Life is hard. I guide individuals, couples and families toward a kinder, happier, and more manageable life. Your challenges can include depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement, relational trauma, couples conflicts, and general life crisis. My goal is to help you develop skills to create boundaries and sort through your emotional obstacles in order to manage life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is strengths-based, as we work together to develop solutions that guide you back toward yourself with tools that support everyday living. Drawing from my expertise, I find it useful to offer modalities such as behavioral, cognitive, interpersonal, and supportive, customizing my approach to the unique needs of each client. By combining these evidence-based approaches, I strive to provide a therapeutic experience that is comprehensive, empathetic, and personalized.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be getting to know more about what you'd like to address in your life. We will dig into why now is the right time, so we can discuss goals that are achievable for you.
