As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in this field, I firmly believe that therapy is a valuable gift individuals can give to themselves. Since the most important relationship one has is with oneself, a healthy self-relationship translates to healthy interpersonal connections. My passion lies in helping individuals achieve their best lives. In a warm and empathetic therapeutic environment, individuals can look within and explore their thoughts and feelings. Healing happens within the context of a therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist.
I am committed to holding this space for you, and as you grow, you will learn to hold this space for yourself. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and draws upon various orientations, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness approaches, advanced training in attachment theory, and a blend of Eastern and Western modalities.
I aim to help individuals unlock their potential, achieve their goals and finding meaning in their lives. I look forward to collaborating with you towards your personal growth. Specialty areas: Depression, anxiety, eating disorders, mood disorders, self esteem, communication skills, relational conflict, parenting, anger, grief and life transitions.
