Whether you are navigating the drama of high school, the seismic shift of a mid-life divorce, or the many complexities of your legacy years (65-90+), you don’t have to figure it out in silence. I believe that each of these life stages presents unique, often misunderstood, challenges that require a distinct therapeutic experience. Today’s world presents many obstacles and everyone has the right to a "little help" to work through them.
I offer an eclectic approach to treatment, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and making connections to past experiences. These approaches allow for an exploration of challenges related to depression/anxiety, family dynamics, relationship issues, life transitions, self-esteem, identity, and loss.
My practice is built on authenticity, directness, and humor. While I take your struggles seriously, I don't believe we have to be overly clinical to get results. I provide an emotionally safe, and occasionally fun, space! Sometimes, a laugh is the best way to break through stress. I believe therapy is most effective when it feels like a real conversation!

I really enjoy using both cognitive behavioral therapy along with dialectical behavioral therapy to help my clients find relief by noticing the ways they think and feel. However, each person and each situation is different. People don't fit into a box and so your therapy shouldn't either. I'll let you help me decide how we do our work!
