I provide Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) to enhance your life satisfaction, sense of mastery, and connectedness with others, utilizing a warm, evidence-based, humane, collaborative manner. Therapy is not something I do TO you, but instead, a "journey" that we take together in partnership (and sometimes in laughter). We will go at your pace and focus on YOUR goals for you. I will attempt to build on your strengths and the coping skills you already possess, and to educate you about communication, problem-solving, and stress-management tools that are new to you.

I provide support to individuals, partners, and families who are motivated towards greater understandings of their stories in order to heal connections in their relationships with themselves and others.
