I am a licensed clinical psychologist, specializing in evidenced-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT). I believe the overarching goal of therapy is to identify potential behaviors and ways of thinking that affect your current way of being. I have an active approach to therapy with the end result being a change in behaviors and thoughts aimed at leaving you with a new perspective. Clients present to treatment for diverse reasons and each client is unique. Therefore, my treatment approach is collaborative, client centered and focused on the whole person.

Life can be overwhelming at times, but I am here to walk with you and help you conquer the challenges you encounter. I believe we all have our own unique strengths and that there is always hope. I emphasize the importance of focusing on these strengths and taking care of yourself. I also know that it is so important for all of us to have a safe spot where we can express our feelings and feel truly heard, understood, and free from judgment. I am proud of you for taking the first step and seeking therapy!

The stories that we tell about ourselves and our experiences are our realities, and these realities shape how we perceive our past, current, and future experiences in our lives. Sometimes, these stories do not allow us to feel the level of happiness and fulfillment in which we desire due to problems dominating our stories. It is my goal to support individuals, families, couples, and groups in developing a sense of hope and possibility that were not previously there. This hope provides space for unique possible outcomes where these individuals can develop a story that includes happiness and life fulfillment.

I feel that living life as freely and fully as we are meant to do incorporates both our successes and our failures. We all have ways that we shine and places where we could improve. Our relationship to life is key to healthy passionate living. Symptoms of anxiety, addiction, depression, and confusion can be used to make needed course corrections to restore the balance of life.

I enjoy working with individuals across the lifespan, from young children to adults age 70+. I offer individual, couples, and family counseling. My approach is integrative as I strive to tailor my approach to your unique needs.

Your child is heading into high school, and you couldn’t be more excited for them.

Perhaps they’ve moved into college or are starting a new job, and are having a tough time transitioning to new responsibilities. You feel stressed, hopeless, and don’t know where to turn for help.
