I am a therapist with a passion for guiding individuals through their unique mental health journeys. My approach is rooted in a deep respect for the diverse challenges we each face in our lives.

As your therapist, I will provide a safe and confidential space as we work together to empower you on your journey to taking back control of your life.

We may encounter many challenges along our path. Challenges may include loss, chronic/terminal illness, trauma and mood disruption. At times, we can manage these challenges on our own.

As a licensed psychotherapist and clinical social worker, I offer my knowledge, skill, curiosity and compassion in a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental environment to support you and/or family members in this process.

Is the stress of work and family life becoming difficult to manage? Do you struggle to find meaning in your life? Are you working to understand competing aspects of your identity? It is my privilege to help my clients work through their personal struggles, using a psychodynamic approach that is both relational and existential. I believe that the relationship between a therapist and client provides an empowering, life-affirming space to work through life's struggles and to bring about healing.

I am passionate about supporting families whether it be couples struggling with conflict, infidelity, communication, mental health concerns or parenting issues; adults who have been faced with a trauma or challenges that may be overwhelming for them; adults struggling with mental health concerns, or trauma. I believe in treating the whole person. This includes considering their mind, body, and spirit as well as exploring the family system to understand and discover who they are on many levels. I work collaboratively with individuals to empower them to build their "tool box" of skills in order to face future challenges.

If you are reading this, it is your first step toward making permanent, positive life changes. Perhaps you are questioning some of your life choices; wondering how you got where you are at this point in your life; or someone you love is struggling and you want to help. Maybe past attempts have not worked out. Professional counseling can enhance almost any life situation and circumstance by first helping you to get clear on what you want or need to change, and what you are willing and able to do to make these changes. The first step is the hardest.

In my 20 years of professional experience as a clinician, I have had the privilege of working with individuals (children, adolescence, adult and families) who experience a wide variety of psychological distress.

Emotions are complex entities, fed by our experiences, beliefs, and relationships they can be both difficult to express and understand. For individuals who feel overwhelmed by their emotions compounded by the every-day stressors that life can bring, therapy provides a pathway to enhanced wellbeing. Tackling the misconceptions and stigmas that therapy is a privilege for a select few, my goal is to help put the power of self-awareness into the hands of all individuals through a mental health plan of action with a modern nuance that feels relevant to the realities of today.
