I strive to help you feel comfortable and safe in the therapeutic space by creating a warm, collaborative, and respectful environment. While I have a certain set of clinical therapeutic skills, you are the expert of you.

Are concerns about unhappiness causing stress for you? Do you feel like you cannot obtain a healthy work/life balance? Has stress/change left you feeling uncertain for the future? I have over fifteen years experience and offer treatment/support for substance abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and mood disorders. These services are provided in individual therapy using treatment approaches including solution-focused, motivational interviewing, and CBT. Incorporation of stress management, holistic approaches, mindfulness, and gentle reprocessing performed in a non-judgmental, safe environment.

My therapeutic style integrates approaches from several schools of thought. However, I tend to favor the client centered and relational approaches to therapy. I help my patients understand how their past and unconscious experiences shape who they are. This integrative style helps patients to effectively link their past, present, and future. I also value the healing power of relationships, which includes the relationship between patient and therapist. I am committed to a collaborative approach to therapy and I value the input of my patients about what they want out of treatment.

We all face difficult challenges in life that can lead to increased stress, decreased functioning, emotional pain, ineffective coping strategies, and interpersonal struggles. Engagement in therapy can provide a safe space to gain the skills and support needed to manage these difficulties and can help us grow into the best version of ourselves. I believe that therapy works to aid in the healing process because we are wired for social connection and thrive when we are able to be vulnerable and feel understood/accepted.

These are unbelievably challenging and tumultuous times. If you find yourself constantly on edge, experiencing feelings of loneliness and unhappiness, or flooded with worry and stress-you are not alone.

All of us experience times in our life when we need a little support due to a life transition, stress, anxiety or depression or just seeking personal growth. I offer a non-judgmental perspective allowing you to build upon your strengths, gain insight and identify patterns to look more closely at, or change. I have worked with a variety of clients and join them "where they are at." I utilize an integrative approach which incorporates solution-focused, motivational, cognitive behavioral and existential theory. My style is interactive and conversational, using humor and the relationship to create trust and safety for growth and change.

Healing and Growth can be a challenging journey. I am committed to creating a safe and compassionate environment for both. I work with issues such as personal transition, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.
