Life's challenges can be overwhelming, and sometimes we need extra support. I am so glad that you are here. I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression, who are navigating difficult life transitions, and who have a history of trauma. I also specialize in working with couples who are looking to reconnect and heal in their relationship. I am passionate about creating a safe space where you can be your authentic self to achieve personal growth, feel better, and deepen fulfillment in your relationships.
My approach to therapy is focused on meeting each client with empathy, building self-understanding, and implementing targeted change for symptom relief. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques, including elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, narrative therapy, attachment work, emotionally focused therapy, and more.
I find that my approach is a good fit for teens, adults, and couples. I am also a culturally sensitive and LGBTQ friendly therapist. Whether you are struggling with mental health symptoms or looking to improve the relationships in your life, our work together will be tailored to your needs and focus on creating a path forward.
