I often work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism and relationship conflicts. A common statement I'll hear is: "I want things to change, but I don't know how to get there."

My therapeutic style is warm, authentic and collaborative. In sessions, we will quiet the inner critic, increase self-compassion and find solutions to current problems using concepts from behavioral therapy, family systems and attachment theory.
