Life is stressful and distracting enough without putting others needs above your own. But that’s what we tend to do! As a result we are left feeling drained. Relationships are complicated – whether it be with yourself or others. Throughout our lifetime relationships are often the most neglected and yet one of the most important. It is through the relationship with yourself and others that personal growth and change develops. This requires looking inward to discover what you need, want, and desire.
As a therapist, I empower individuals to take care of themselves through creating a safe, secure space; a place for you to learn how to nurture both your mind and body. As an experienced third party perspective, I actively collaborate with you in conversation, guide you to awaken and inspire your inner strengths and help you build skills.
My background includes modalities of Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Behavioral Therapy, expressive arts, and trauma informed care. I have a special interest in working with individuals coping with relationships issues, self-esteem and self-worth, codependency, couple therapy, adjustment and mood disorders, substance use, and grief and loss.

Therapy for relationship issues often involves improving communication, resolving conflicts, and fostering deeper emotional connections between partners. Addressing life transition issues in therapy focuses on adapting to changes, finding new perspectives, and building resilience. Stress management in therapy includes identifying stressors, developing coping strategies, and promoting relaxation.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered therapeutic approach that emphasizes collaboration, evoking the client's own motivations for change. It's a non-confrontational method that helps individuals resolve ambivalence and strengthen their commitment to making positive changes. Through empathetic listening and open-ended questions, MI empowers clients to explore their values and goals.
