At our best we are connected. We are connected with ourselves. We believe that the best is in us and that we can live that authentically. We are connected with our families, friends, communities, and societies. There is congruence. I believe that we experience the deepest sorrows and difficulties when there is disconnection. When we are out of sorts, or disconnected, with a part of ourselves, family, friends, communities, or society, there is incongruence. My belief is that by identifying salient disconnections and working towards reconnection that one is on the path towards healing.

I strive to provide a nonjudgmental, validating, and empathetic approach to therapy by fostering an environment in which my patients and I can work collaboratively, while supporting them alongside their journey of growth, and reaching their goals.

I provide a warm, safe, and humorous environment to meet patients where they are at, in order for them to feel unconditionally accepted and supported as they begin their therapeutic journey.
