Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I believe therapy is a space where you can pause, breathe, and rediscover your sense of self. My role isn’t to provide all the answers, but to walk alongside you as you explore the questions that matter most. I see counseling as a way to tap into the strengths and resources you already carry within you. Together, we’ll look at the patterns shaping your life, identify what no longer serves you, and create new ways of coping that feel aligned and sustainable.

We all have suffering in our lives-- it's part of human experience. Too often, however, there is a layer of unnecessary psychological pain caused by unconscious defenses. We often resist painful feelings and the realities they point to. When this happens chronically we can get stuck in our resistance, becoming emotionally and physically sick. So our suffering increases. I work together with patients to build and/or embrace their capacity to honestly and compassionately face, untangle, and accept truths they can no longer resist.

Accepting new clients in September 2025. Many times we find ourselves disconnected and overwhelmed in a fast paced world. We forget what is most meaningful in our lives.

You want to know yourself on a deeper level. You want all of these things and yet you put your head down and keep pushing. Our work is getting clear on your deepest desires, slowing down and listening, and nurturing a healthy and sustainable connection to yourself and others.

Our center is focused on helping children with autism spectrum disorder and/or other developmental disabilities. We offer home based and clinic based sessions. In our clinic-based therapy program, your child will receive one-on-one instruction and learning opportunities in a structured setting to work on specific goals. Providing ABA therapy in the home is not unlike clinic-based interventions, as the goal is to develop treatment/behavior plans with objective and measurable goals. This type of therapy creates a naturalistic setting for teaching children daily living and household skills.
