I believe every person is truly their own best expert. It's my job is to encourage, support and offer tools to help navigate healing and personal growth.
My job is to listen and respond with compassion, kindness and non-judgment. Some of the keys to healing are learning to rewire core wounds, meet unmet needs, focus on self regulation through nervous system work, communication skills, self work with others, and healthy boundary setting skills.
The goal is to understand our authentic self, operate at our best and find ways to eliminate anything that gets in the way of having a high quality of life. The world will continue to make demands of us, that is life. Therapy is about building coping skills and abilities to successfully navigate our existence and learn to enjoy being here and now.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
