My focus is above all to offer therapy which empowers individuals. This starts with genuinely respecting your autonomy and right to choose your own path. Whether you're getting by "good enough" in your life but still find yourself discontent and aren't sure why, or you're dealing with mental illness (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma) which is beginning to unravel your relationships and your life. You may seek short-term symptom relief, and this will always be respected, on the other hand, you may choose to dive deeper to clarify and work on the root of a reoccurring problem. Either way, I'm here to help.
If you have found yourself not progressing in your therapy, perhaps even feeling supported but not particularly moving forward and growing in the ways in which you hoped, I would encourage you to contact me. I take pride in offering meaningful, truly personal, growth-focused therapy that strives to get to the heart of the matter and work from there.
We all deal with factors we didn't get to choose, like our biology or the family we're born into. We can only do our best with the hand we're dealt, which is much easier said than done. Typically, how we operate is all we've ever known, habitual, just there, like the air we breathe. I strive to help my patients learn to more freely choose their own path.

My psychotherapy will always be unique to my patient, not pre-determined in length and focus before hand, and never conducted out of an instruction manual. I bring 20 years of working with patients in training and practice together with deep knowledge from psychology research and theory, neuroscience, sociology, and philosophy to truly customize a whole-person approach to the patient experience.

I use a variety of interventions based on my biopsychosocial understanding of the human mind/brain and how we run into mental health issues. Our first session is certainly psychotherapy, but also somewhat of a consultation, in that we'll explore what issues brought you into the office and I'll offer my thoughts on how/if I may be able to help out with those issues by starting a course of therapy.
