I have always been passionate about helping people. My goal in therapy is to create a non-judgmental, compassionate and comfortable atmosphere in which clients can safely explore and work through various feelings, thoughts and beliefs. Change can be difficult; I believe that anyone can achieve positive change and better their lives-- they just sometimes need a little guidance. My therapeutic style balances direct feedback with active and empathetic listening. I treat each client according to their individual needs and unique presentation.

I provide a process for people to meaningfully heal, change and grow. Whether struggling through a life transition, grief, or seeking to empty destructive patterns and behaviors, my unique approach offers a path towards symptom relief and greater personal peace. People that have been labeled "resistant" or "too difficult to treat" by previous therapists have often found success working with me. Through traditional therapy models and innovative interventions, I guide clients to lasting, life-long change.
