I work with clients within an attachment-based/relational framework, which posits that healing and transformation occurs through a safe, authentic, empathically attuned, and responsive therapeutic relationship. From this framework, I tend to integrate several different approaches to therapy.

Please note: I'm only accepting new client couples or families at this time. On your journey of self-improvement, I hope to provide you with a safe and empathetic space to be your most authentic self. Both past and present challenges can affect individuals in so many different and powerful ways.

I am particularly interested in working with people struggling with the on going effects of adverse childhood experiences like abuse, neglect and loss; especially those of early childhood. Often people suffering from the painful effects of traumatic experiences have never really felt whole, known peace or felt truly acceptable. Much too often they blame themselves. Bouts of depression and anxiety are all too frequent. In therapy you undo the underlying causes of fear, shame and grief that drive depression, anxiety and dissociation. You learn to live a life that is meaningful, present focused and free from the shadows of the past.

My clients often come to me facing challenges navigating life and trying to manage things like anxiety, stress, substance use issues, and relationships. Maybe traditional methods of recovery haven't worked for you and you're feeling stuck. Or maybe you want to continue working from a traditional recovery lense & fine tune some of your skills. My clients come wanting to explore their substance use, identify what their ideal recovery looks like and how to get there. You can expect us working together in sessions to develop realistic and attainable goals; things that you would like to see change in your life. Let me help you get there!
