My passion is helping people discover the goodness, strength, and wisdom that is already within them, helping them to grow those strengths so that they can ultimately “be their own therapist.” I have a special interest and focus on compulsive eating, emotional eating, and binge eating using evidence-based mindfulness approaches, such as DBT and Compassion-Focused Therapy. I seek to offer a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental space where we can collaboratively explore your needs and goals. We will walk this journey together!

As a client-centered therapist, I believe you are the expert in your own life. I consider it to be a privilege and blessing to be a part of your journey to find fulfillment in your life.

I strive to maintain the creative and dynamic process of therapy utilizing theory and interventions from multiple models of therapy. I am committed to creating a therapeutic environment based on collaboration, action-oriented interventions, skill building and honest, supportive feedback.

I consider counseling a sacred space. My hope is to provide a safe environment where we can delve into what concerns you. Sessions are intimate where we learn and share. The power of counseling and talking and releasing fears, worries and relinquishing your feelings is therapeutic. My objective is to empower you to create a better lifestyle for yourself through understanding, self-confidence, control, and carrying out your goals.

We may cry, but we will laugh too! We will take about fear, but we will take about courage too! I truly believe that the most change occurs when you feel like you can connect with your therapist! Give me a call and I'll get you in for an appointment as soon as I can!

My ideal client is inspired to be curious together and work together to identify and remove blockages that prevent a life of clarity and abundance. Whether relationship issues, parenting challenges, grief, unresolved trauma, addiction, career matters, or even the most deeply-stuck moods (anxiety, depression, etc.), we all possess within us the capacity to instinctively heal and thrive with sustained connection, vibrancy and aliveness. It’s likely a simple solution, in need of the right "non-pathological" and rigorously client-centered approach is all. My clients are empowered to reconnect with and regain trust in themselves.
