With 25 years of experience, I specialize in helping adults, young adults, and teens navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationships. My approach is pragmatic, straightforward, and focused on making the change process as clear and effective as possible.

In therapy, I work collaboratively with you to identify the specific struggles you're facing, develop a personalized plan, and guide you through meaningful changes. My goal is to help you build hope, gain clarity, and find greater satisfaction in your life.

Many clients begin to feel relief within the first few sessions and start to feel more equipped to manage their symptoms and challenges. I believe therapy should lead to real, tangible improvements—and I’m passionate about helping people experience life as enriching, fulfilling, and enjoyable. You deserve nothing less.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Emotionally Focused
Experiential Therapy
Family / Marital

I use various treatment approaches depending on your needs. I use family systems theory as a base to all my treatment modalities, which leans towards looking for patterns (in thinking, behavior, and relationships) to build from and address. I then favor a cognitive behavioral approach, combined with a solution focused and positive psychology emphasis, but will adapt according to your needs.
