I am currently accepting new clients for in person and video sessions. I am an experienced marriage and family therapist who is dedicated in helping couples, adult individuals and children struggling with difficult life transitions, trauma and depression find renewed hope in life.
I find great joy in creating a unique therapeutic experience that is tailored to you, which is why I integrate different approaches into my practice. I meaningfully aim to offer a different perspective that can help you obtain clarity and peace. I support you by increasing your awareness of the deep fears and strong emotions that are making you feel stuck.
My goal is to deeply connect with your personal experience, provide you with a trusting and non-judgmental environment to foster a collaborative process so that together we can create life long changes. I don't just help you find temporary solutions that may fix your current situation but rather transform the pain into an opportunity for growth.
