While our past can deeply impact our sense of who we are and the choices we make, it does not need to define us. With care, attention and a little practice, I believe that it is entirely possible to transform familiar but unwanted ways of thinking, feeling and relating. I enjoy helping individuals of all ages develop healthier ways of being that are built on a more compassionate relationship with themselves and those they love.

Hello! I work with adults, adolescents and families.

It is a guided mutual process in which you develop better coping skills with a deeper capacity to handle emotional difficulties.

It’s difficult to begin therapy. But if you're in a lot of emotional pain, it can feel like life is running you; you've lost the driver's seat. Once you reach out for support, we begin. Together, we'll explore any distorted thinking patterns you may be having and develop your strengths so that you can regain a sense of agency and equanimity. We'll focus on your core values and how you can make changes to align with them. Your precious life is worth it! I look forward to talking to you.

I believe counseling is about finding meaning and purpose in our lives; about experiencing a deep level of self-trust; and about healing broken relationships. I use a solution focused approach inviting you to view your problems from a different angle. We'll focus on what things you can control and how to let go of circumstances beyond your control. I invite you to identify the sources of internal dialogue that generate self-doubt, anxiety and depression. Each week you will leave with small assignments designed to increase your self-awareness and self-confidence.

My belief is that we are constantly evolving and this faith in our capacity for great change is at the core of my therapeutic approach. My goal is to help you be your best self.

I will partner with you to help you set goals for change, to learn new skills to regulate unwanted emotions, communicate effectively, untangle negative thinking patterns, and ultimately discover a new way of being. By promoting self-acceptance, I will empower you to harness your positive attributes to achieve your desired growth.
