I am available to help individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, and interpersonal and relationship difficulties. The first step is talking with someone compassionate who listens and tries to understand the world from your perspective. I know the importance of the relationship between therapist and client; therefore, I take a client-centered approach. Being able to tell your story and process it is the first step toward healing and initiating change. My approach is integrative, where I employ different therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs best.

Especially for some of the most successful among us, we can hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance in all areas. Sometimes we may feel that we're supposed to have all the answers to the challenges life throws our way, even when that isn’t always possible. An achievement focus can come at the expense of other areas of our lives. I see therapy as a collaborative experience. I work with individuals and couples to help unlock what holds them back to gain an understanding of how our histories shape our present, while building a foundation of skills in the here-in-now to promote healing and a future that is self-defined.

At our sessions, we'll be using a blend of two powerful techniques: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solutions-Oriented Brief Treatment (SOBT). CBT helps us understand how your thoughts affect your feelings and behaviors, while SOBT focuses on finding practical solutions to the challenges you're facing. Together, we'll work on both managing your current struggles and building skills to navigate future ones. It's about finding the balance between understanding what's going on and taking action to make positive changes in your life."
