I am a licensed clinical counselor dedicated to supporting adults, adolescents and couples of all backgrounds. If you experience problems related to relationship conflict, trauma, sexuality, grief, loneliness, anxiety, depression or a sense of purposelessness, I have confidence that I can help. My work with individuals is a combination of CBT, logotherapy, and a psychodynamic therapy where I collaborate with the client in analysis of thought, feeling, and action to gain insight for the purpose of positive change. With couples, sessions are emotion-focused and informed by the Gottman method, with the goal of improving communication.
My goal is to provide a space for every client to better understand themselves, others, and how they fit into the world. A new perspective provides the opportunity to approach life differently, and my role as a therapist is to show clients that they are understood and accepted so that they may develop the courage and confidence to make their own decisions.
The world can at times feel unforgiving, but you do not have to go through your challenges alone. If you are experiencing any kind of hurt, confusion, or isolation please reach out to me, and I will be happy to help!

Our distress often comes from the uncertain space between the familiar and unfamiliar. I work with folks struggling to make sense of change, loss, and trauma. In treatment we delve deeply into the client's understanding of the world and their place in it, and we work together to cultivate a greater sense of control and self-assurance.

My style is relational and individualized. Instead of sticking to a single approach, I pull from many therapy types to provide treatment that directly addresses the person's needs. In treatment, I try to establish a trusting and secure relationship with each client so they can feel safe to grow. Together, we develop a personal narrative that is both empowering and realistic.
