My ideal client would be new to therapy, though motivated to change. I am aware of the challenges that come with seeking therapy and want to be a support to those who are hesitant with the process.

Dedicating time and attention to our own needs can feel overwhelming for so many of us. My goal is to support and challenge you as you jump into the journey of self-advocacy and compassion.

Psychologist Carl Rogers said, “In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?” My clinical approach is to provide a therapeutic connection that helps clients acknowledge, bear, and put into perspective all the struggles, messiness, small delights, bliss and everything in between that we experience as part of the human condition. Therapy is an opportunity to delve into that quarrel with the self.

The decision to seek therapy is not an easy one and finding the right therapist can be daunting. In today's challenging times, many people feel depressed, anxious, or unfulfilled in multiple areas of their lives. I am a licensed psychologist who works with adults who struggle with these issues. My expertise includes depression, relationship concerns, complex trauma, difficult transitions, & grief/loss.
