My work with individual adults and couples is a combination of Traditional Psychology and evidence- based Positive Psychology. The traditional psychotherapy focuses on problem solution and symptom reduction, which, of course, are important first steps toward managing the difficult periods of our lives. However, most of us want more from life than surviving the rough parts that we encounter. What we long for is a way to thrive in our everyday lives.. Evidence-based Positive Psychology focuses on our strengths and the development of habits that can create a lasting sense of happiness, wellbeing and meaning in our lives.

We are a team of mindfully aware, always evolving therapists that show up authentically as our full selves. We believe in working with the whole person and helping you dismantle the beliefs of the past that no longer serve you. If you are not feeling your optimal self notice that, that awareness is the first step to getting you back on your path. Our approach is empowering that allows people to come as they are. Many people today are stressed, overwhelmed, and trapped in the fast pace lifestyle which puts our nervous system out of balance.

My intention as a therapist is to be your guide on your journey to healing. I believe everyone has the ability to heal and create the life they have always dreamed of. Many times we have unconscious blocks that keep us from living the life we want. These "blocks" are often unhealed wounds that cause individuals to have negative beliefs, anxiety, depression, and even physical symptoms. I can assist you in identifying these blocks and restoring the natural balance with your mind, body, and spirit.

Whatever the challenges in your life, you have tremendous capacity for personal growth, positive change, and contentment. I use an integration of evidence based interventions to collaborate with you in creating an individualized treatment approach.

Some of our most difficult times are also our greatest opportunities for growth and healing. It can be challenging and rewarding to make changes in your life and in your relationships. I aim to create an empathetic and trusting environment and relationship in which you can feel safe to discover areas of yourself that are in need of healing. I am continually encouraged by what can happen once you take initiative to make changes. The goal is to move through these issues, build on your strengths, achieve a greater sense of well-being and live a positive life.
