"Taking the first step in finding a therapist can be daunting, but once you find the right fit, it can be a turning point in your life. As your therapist, my job is to listen carefully as we work through the issues you are struggling with now, but also figuring out how they became issues in the first place. It's this understanding that brings on real change. Sometimes, all it takes is fresh eyes and a new perspective to help you move forward from whatever is holding you back. You don't have to do this alone!"

I creatively integrate a relational model and scientifically proven cognitive behavior techniques which will allow clients to learn tools and gain insight, in order to make positive changes in their lives. Together we can find your true growth potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating."
