My approach is person centered, which means I will be curious about you, but in a space free of pressure or judgment.
Whether you’re a child, teenager, or young adult, or an overwhelmed mother or father, or perhaps a couple struggling with interpersonal issues…whatever it is that brings you here, welcome. When we reach a crossroads or simply struggle to move forward, therapy can broaden our perspectives and unlock new insights. And as we take what we learn in therapy and apply it in our lives, we can begin to feel different: lighter, richer, fuller. It can feel like opening a window to allow more oxygen and light to come in.

I use an eclectic approach of Cognitive-Behavioral, IFS, Person Centered, Strengths Based, and Mindfulness Based techniques.
Do you ever feel stuck in or powerless over situations in your life? Do you feel like you’re repeating the same patterns over and over again? Are you struggling to find joy and connection? These experiences are a normal part of the human condition. Maintaining the status quo and avoiding discomfort are often our instinct, but they can keep us from living our most authentic and fulfilling lives. In our work together, we can explore the root causes of what is getting in the way so that you can heal from past or current traumas, develop new habits, learn to embrace and love your truest self, and create a life that is fulfilling to you.
