For me, psychotherapy must address the needs of the person. Sometimes this can mean exploring how you got to the point you are at, and how you want to change; and sometimes you may want specific tools to address a very specific issue. Finding the right therapist is perhaps one of the most important choices you will make and also one of the most difficult. Although a therapist may have an armory of techniques to use, what I have found to be at the heart of any type of psychotherapy is whether the relationship works between you and your therapist.

For 20 years I have worked closely and collaboratively with individuals, couples and families to help them develop skills to ease stress, manage difficult emotions, improve communication and strengthen relationships. If you are seeking to discover a deeper understanding of yourself, explore family issues, improve relationships or learn skills to manage complex and challenging emotions I am here to help.

As a dedicated and compassionate licensed mental health counselor, I am committed to meeting individuals and couples where they are on their journey to healing within a safe and supportive environment, as well as fostering a space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make positive changes. My approach to therapy is integrative; and with a strong foundation in evidence-based practices, including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices, I strive to empower individuals to help themselves achieve positive changes in their lives.
