I believe that every person has the potential to grow, heal, and live a happier and more fulfilling life. I am passionate about helping my clients understand themselves better, find ways to improve their relationships, and nurture their own personal fulfillment and happiness. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families who are struggling with a range of challenges including: life transitions (both big and small), uncertainty, low self-esteem, relationship complications, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms.
My approach is kind and direct and I work uniquely with each client depending on their needs. I will provide you with a place to feel safe, understood, and accepted. My goal is for you to leave treatment fully empowered with insights and skills that allow you to create meaningful relationships and live your life to the fullest.
Thinking about beginning therapy can be overwhelming but I am here for you and look forward to speaking with you.
