Looking to feel confident in your choices as a person and/or parent and connected to the people in your life? Wishing life came with instruction manuals? Looking to gain more control over your emotional reactions and feelings of worry? I can help. Therapy is a place where you can work to understand yourself, feel seen and be heard. Together, in a safe space we can work on making mindset shifts, building self-acceptance and developing positive coping mechanisms and setting and working towards your goals. I also have extensive experience working with young child and partnering with parents offering guidance and support.
I believe in the power of sharing and understanding your story as well as exploring our internal thoughts and feelings and the different relationships and their impact in our lives.
Life is not always smooth sailing. I am here to partner with you on this journey, creating a safe and supportive container for self exploration and discovery. I look forward to hearing from you.

I often use Cognitive Behavior Therapy in my practice. I draw from elements of Narrative Therapy and Family Systems theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We will work together to identify how your thoughts affect your emotions, experiences and behavioral choices and learn how to change your feelings about yourself and the world for the better.
