Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stressed? Do you have an idea of the changes you'd like to make, but are unsure how to start the process or handle the unexpected? My approach to therapy honors your past experiences, recognizing that your journey has brought you to where you are today. I believe that by collaborating, we can achieve the positive changes you're seeking and we'll work together to help you be the best version of yourself for your current phase in life.

With over a decade of experience working with diverse clients, I specialize in understanding unique experiences, facilitating meaningful change, and helping individuals process emotions and make informed decisions. In our therapeutic work, you are the expert on your own story, while I provide expertise in enhancing understanding and gaining new perspectives.

Let's collaborate to achieve your self-defined goals for overall well-being. In working with me, you can expect a therapy experience that is respectful, affirming, and attuned to your values. To see if we are a good fit, please schedule a consultation call. You can also watch my TEDx talk for an example of my approach. I look forward to connecting with you!

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Attachment-based
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Emotionally Focused
Person-Centered
Relational
Strength-Based
Trauma Focused

I most often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches in my work, but I also have a strong foundation in trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches. With CBT, we look at how your thoughts and beliefs (known and unknown) influence your choices and emotions, and explore how they came to be and what you'd like to change about them. I believe that every part of us has a purpose and can evolve.
