Are you anxious, troubled, stuck, weighed down? I believe that you have the inner strength and power to live your best life. But it is hard to be hopeful when you feel trapped by old patterns. That’s where our work together begins. I believe that therapy is a collaborative and creative process. My goal is to help you feel better in the present, while finding deeper insight and lasting change for the future. My style is warm, supportive, interactive, and sometimes humorous. I will adapt our work to meet your unique needs and goals. I believe that the relationship we build in therapy is the foundation for healing and change.
I am trained in many therapeutic methods and integrate these in ways to best serve each client. I focus on deep insight while teaching you tools you can use immediately to reduce distress. If you have experienced trauma, I can help you process it with EMDR. I am trained in clinical hypnosis and have helped many clients with various needs.
I am extremely open-minded and love working with people of various ages, races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, spiritual preferences, and life stages. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to find out if we are a good fit. Please give me a call. I look forward to talking to you soon!

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship discord, and many other challenges. During our initial sessions, we will explore the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them and constructively moving forward. Typically clients experience symptom reduction within the first month and sustained insight and improvement thereafter.
