I believe that one of the most important aspects of psychotherapy is establishing trust with your therapist so you can openly and honestly discuss your specific hurdles. My area's of specific expertise are adolescent /adult depression and anxiety as well as working with individuals and couples struggling with infertility. My approach is client focused utilizing a professional network of both traditional and alternative therapies.

I view each child, teen , young adult, and family as unique. That uniqueness is why I draw from different therapy modalities to support emotional well-being. Anxiety and depression often stem from complicated interpersonal relationships, lack of self-confidence, and feeling unable to control events in our lives. Our joint effort can help you attain the freedom to make positive choices in your life. I bring clinical experience offered in a genuine, nonjudgmental, confidential atmosphere. Drawing from cognitive behavior approaches, insight therapy, and mindfulness practice, my goal is to provide tools to help you in improving your state of mind.

I come alongside my clients as I bear witness to their pain, struggles, healing and growth. I am always amazed at the resiliency and strength I see in people.

However, the art, shows up in unique ways, such as how language, images and personalized goals are used.
