Therapy is an opportunity for you to learn about yourself and make the changes you want or need to make emotionally, cognitively, relationally or behaviorally. It is an art that must be tailored to each person. My job as your therapist is to create an environment to help you grow and actively seize opportunities to make different choices and write your own story. I use empathy, active listening, and honest feedback while taking a problem solving approach. I'm careful not to make choices for you, but help you learn to make them for yourself.

I understand the very human struggles associated with managing intense emotions and thoughts without feeling consumed by them, living in the present moment without being haunted by memories of the past or worries about the future, and arriving at a place where our lives are dictated by us and our values, rather than by traumas and other stressful life experiences. At the heart of these very human struggles, there are often more paths than we realize toward resilience and self-compassion. My mission is to offer a therapy tailored to meet your unique needs, grounded in science, and guided by empirically supported best practices.
