As a systemically-trained therapist, I believe that no person is an island. We all have so many people that influence every aspect of our lives, people who have helped shape us to be who we are today. In therapy, I want to hear about you, but I also want to hear about your people. I’m committed to taking the time we need to unravel who you really are. I care about you, and I care about what is weighing you down. In therapy, we will carefully unwrap painful memories, brave new ways of thinking, and spend some of the time laughing and connecting as human beings.

Everyone has seasons in life where they are struggling and need help. I provide a supportive and nonjudgemental space to receive support and healing for anxiety, depression, life changes (such as divorce , birth, marriage, moving, new jobs), loss, trauma, emotional regulation, relationships problems and even general goal setting. I believe the key to life satisfaction is identifying your core values and then working to align your behaviors and decisions with those values.

You can depend on my ability to offer warmth and compassion; respect your process; be educational and interactive; provide support and direction; and truly care. Clients report feeling better, having new insights and knowing they are supported while contemplating and effecting change in their lives. I am committed to assisting you on your journey.

WELCOME! I ENJOY WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS who are motivated to learn about themselves and their relationships~to their partner, family, work, creative endeavors and/or physical health.

TO BRIDGE THE GAP that often occurs between insight and transformative change, I draw from my background in the MEDICAL FIELD, as well as from NEURO("BRAIN")SCIENCE, MINDFULNESS PRACTICES and current research regarding the intricate RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential. During times when we are overwhelmed or flooded by emotions it can be difficult to find solutions to lifes challenges.

While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.
