When dealing with life's challenges, most of us know how we'd like to feel and act, but sometimes we just can't seem to make it happen. I strongly believe that within us all there is a true self which is completely lovable and whole. However, past experiences can cause the emotional center of our brain (limbic system) to take control of our feelings and behaviors, pushing our true self into the background. While this emotional center is vital to our experience, it can also cause us to react based on fear or distress rather than reality.

Human connection is important to me, and I believe that strengthening our support system often begins with our families, those we are born with and those we choose. I work with adolescents and adults, and through a person-centered approach, I strive to help empower clients to tap into their full potential. I specialize in couples counseling and am trained in the Gottman method, which focuses on a couple's deep friendship as the basis for a lasting relationship.
