I seek to provide a safe therapeutic space that honors your experiences and assists you in achieving your goals. I resonate with Carl Rogers, who wrote, “When I accept myself as I am, then I can change.” I see counseling as a process of healing that invites you to tell your story without shame, build on your strengths, and discover untapped internal resources in collaboration with a professional guide. As you author the next chapter of your life, a transformation is possible where you move from surviving to living the life you want to live.
My experience is working with people with a history of family addictions, emotional neglect, causing anxieties, depression, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships, and a sense of "stuckness" in life. I encounter many clients in this space who struggle with shame and self-worth issues that respond well to my compassion-focused approach.
I believe it's not my job to fix you but to find you. Please contact me to begin your heroic journey of self-discovery and transformation.

I work with individuals and couples who struggle with a nagging personal or relationship problem. For couples, I utilize the Gottman method, and with individuals, an integrative, attachment-based approach., I focus on providing compassionate antidotes to shame, disconnection, and grief. The work is reconnecting to the self; to know that wherever you are, that is where home is.
