I help clients develop concrete skills as well as insight through the use of CBT, DBT, Gottman, and Family Systems Therapy techniques.
The most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between the client & the therapist. My style is client-centered & nonjudgmental. I specialize in working with teens, emerging adults, families, & couples around issues such as anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship dynamics, and trauma. Insight and change can only be achieved when a therapist is able to ‘meet clients where they are at’ in a direct, strengths-based, warm, and affirming manner. I pride myself on my ability to develop meaningful, catalytic relationships with my clients.

Maybe you or your child has experienced historical or intergenerational trauma that affects school or job growth. Maybe you're feeling a sense of inner desire to heal past wounds & increase your quality of life. Perhaps you're in need of better communication skills, managing your feelings, or understanding and bettering the many symptoms of grief, anxiety, and sadness. I understand the importance of having a therapist who prioritizes culture & can relate to the lived experiences you have been through.

Creating a safe environment is where I begin. I see therapy as a collaborative process that can lead you toward a greater capacity for self-awareness, trust, clarity, a sense of meaning and freedom. Life gives us surprising obstacles, which can make us feel stuck, depressed, alone or scared. With therapeutic presence, creativity and guidance, we can change our relationship to obstacles and transform. Our darkest point may mark the moment we realize we want to change. I use yoga and creative writing in my practice, and have training in mindfulness/somatic approaches, gestalt therapy, family systems, DBT, & depth psychology.

Finding your next step can be Confusing, Intimidating, Daunting. Seeking professional assistance for life's many complicated twists is a sign of mature humility. I have heard, "therapy is for broken people" and this could not be farther from the truth. Therapy is a window into a healthier life, ripe with clearer goals and personal accomplishments, more accountability, greater dreams, and significantly more rewarding relationships. TAKING the decision to speak with someone allows access to evidence-based, efficient, effective tools you can use the rest of your life - once you find your meaning and purpose, all else falls into place.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
