I believe that counseling doesn't come with a manual or a "cookie-cutter" approach. You are a person with feelings and thoughts unique to your own concerns and issues. I don't approach our counseling relationship based on your diagnosis or societal labels. I try to assist according to how you see your world and recognize that we all make different choices. We don't have to be held captive to a mental illness and I will help you try to find the "keys to those locks".

Does it feel like there are patterns that keep repeating throughout your life? Patterns that show up in your relationships, your parenting, your work?

I want to help create lasting change for those of you who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self worth, substance use, trauma, depression, or relationship issues.

As a licensed clinical psychologist I see my role as providing you with a safe, nonjudgmental and caring environment - a place where you can explore your struggles and better understand the obstacles that may be getting in the way of you achieving your goals.

Over time, we collaborate in shaping a life that is consistent with your values, which in turn increases self-respect and peace of mind.
