"Emotional distress can arise from a number of sources, for a variety of reasons. I work with patients to help them make sense of what they're feeling, so that a course of action can be set toward change and mastery.

I work primarily with adults in individual therapy and offer consultation to families, couples and primary care physicians. Presenting problems often include depression, anxiety and relationship distress."

Sharing your story takes courage, but on the other side is healing, wholeness and your fullest life. "

"Most often the goal coming into therapy is to find relief and decrease symptoms. Some may come to gain skills to get through challenging life situations and transitions. The skills learned in therapy can be applied for you to use throughout your life and will support long term positive change.

It is my passion to walk alongside you on the path of self-discovery as your story unfolds and you gain personal meaning."
