I love working with highly motivated couples and individuals who are ready to do the hard work of healing. Maybe you’ve spent years getting degrees or a dream job at the expense of connection to others. Perhaps alcohol or drugs helped you cope for a while but they’ve created some problems of their own. The pressure to succeed can be traumatic and distance you from those you love. I want to help you realign to succeed in life and love!

Many clients I work with are experiencing a difficult state of transition and are seeking support to help them through this difficult time. I listen carefully for individual strengths of my clients and help them to get in touch with this part of themselves, while also providing input and feedback that they can try to help them navigate. I am passionate about helping my clients feel more empowered and in control of their emotional responses, and provide direction and access to available resources. Many clients I work with are working professionals and student therapists, while other clients are retired or approaching retirement.

My clinical approach is multi-disciplinary and rooted in psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and humanistic psychology. I also have a background in integrative health and wellness, which can contribute to a more in-depth perspective on treatment. My style is collaborative, interpersonal, direct, and non-judgemental, and I encourage clients to be true to themselves and transparent. Although treatment is based on an individual's needs and goals, primary objectives in treatment are to help clients (re)connect to their confidence and curiosity and to reinforce their capacity and resiliency.

Are you a person trying to explore your gender, race, or sexuality? Do you struggle to communicate your needs, set boundaries, and be assertive? I challenge you to speak your truth, understand yourself, and be authentic while maintaining boundaries. I use humor and a strong therapeutic relationship to help you be your ideal, most grounded self. When I think about transforming and changing one's life, I always reflect on Audre Lorde's powerful words. "What are the words you do not yet have...Next time, ask: What's the worst that will happen? Then push yourself a little further than you dare. "
