I believe in the possibility of change and the ability within us to heal and to grow. Through an integrative approach, I would like to assist you in accessing your strengths to reveal your best self and to live your most joyous life. My background in theatre and education has served as the foundation for my clinical work. Drawing from a mindful and solution focused approach, I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems theory, psychodramatic techniques and other useful interventions that are tailored to meet your unique treatment needs.
I have collaborated with individuals, couples, and groups struggling with a wide variety of issues including addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma related disorders, chronic stress, poor self esteem and relationship difficulties (just to name a few!)
We're all doing the best we can in any given moment. Join me in discovering what really matters to you and how to live more authentically. Successfully navigating life's challenges requires gentleness, practicing boundaries and balance, and remembering to orient to joy. I look forward to the possibility of working with you.
