The philosophy that guides me in my work with clients is a strong core belief in respect for each person's unique culture and heritage. There are no cookie cutter therapeutic interventions that work universally on all clients with the exception of the development of strong therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. I believe therapy needs to be meaningful, personal and tailored for each person or couple. A distinctive of my practice is to provide an integrated approach that treats the whole person. I am trained in Gottman Level 1 & 2, Prepare/Enrich certified, and use the skills learned when working with couples.

Accepting new patients. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating. Sometimes all we need is a listening, empathetic ear to help us work through life’s challenges. Many of my patients describe me as an active listener, providing insight that helps them see things from a different perspective while feeling what they need to feel.
Using a humanistic, conversational approach, I help my patients focus on the direction they are going rather than where they may find themselves in any moment.
