I believe deeply in the ability we all have to grow and create an engaged and meaningful life. My role as a therapist involves a steadfast commitment to developing an understanding of my client’s perspective. Self-empowerment, radical acceptance, and authentic human connection will be the cornerstone of our work. I utilize strength-based, affirmative, and neuroscientific theory to guide us... but healing doesn’t happen via theory. It lies in you—your hopes, hardships, successes, and infinite wisdom. Sometimes we’ll laugh. Often, we’ll cry. But either way... You won’t walk this path alone.
Understanding ourselves better can provide a kinder & less judgmental frame of understanding how we got here. But taking steps (both in life & during therapy) to heal and make changes is also essential. That’s why my approach combines the depth of insight-oriented psychotherapies & mindfulness with the action-oriented aspects of behavioral therapies.
I enjoy working with adults as well as adolescents on a wide array of issues (see below). I strive to work with compassion, intelligence, and warmth and aim to have my clients leave our work together with a deeper sense of purpose and a stronger zest for life.
