Great to meet you!

I have worked in private practice for several years. For the last few years I have specialized in treating individuals struggling with depression and anxiety. I have also gained much experience helping couples who are having challenges in their relationship.

My approach to therapy

I use cognitive behavioral therapy for individuals. For couples I use a lot of John Gottman's principles.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave my sessions with more insight. Insight into the "why" for their actions and how to make better decisions. Clients will also develop resilience and build skills to manage some of life's greatest challenges.
