"I have got to do something different." "I am tired of the merry-go-round." How many times have you made statements like these and always with the best of intentions? How many times have you been at the end of your rope with seemingly no where to turn? .

You have taken the first step toward that change you have long wanted!

Through intentionality and training, we create a comfortable, supportive space for our clients to grow and process their experiences.

Relationships can be a source of great joy and comfort. When they get off track our life becomes unsettled and nothing feels right.

My work as a therapist is guided by the humanist theory that people can heal and grow if they have assistance that is genuine, empathetic, and accepting. I believe that when we accept ourselves exactly as we are, then we can find the strength to change behaviors that are not serving us.

The approaches I use are informed by dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, positive psychology, attachment theory, and family systems theory.
