Having always been a talker, through my education I have learned the art of listening. I believe we all have choices and a responsibility for our actions, though it's true it may not always be that simple. I am a solution-focused person, which has influenced my therapeutic approach; that is not to say I will solve all your problems. I follow a Cognitive Behavioral approach, always person-centered, with influences from REBT, positive psychology, and existential theory. I see sessions as organic, myself as a facilitator, and the client as the expert, and I will challenge your negative thinking patterns

Life can get hard, no matter how old you are or how “great” you appear to have it. Navigating through daily stressors can take a toll on you, and make it hard to concentrate at work and(or) school, communicate with your family and friends, and do the things you usually love. These stressors can include relationship concerns, peer conflicts, parental conflicts/difficulties, continuing to make“bad” decisions; unresolved childhood concerns, un-fulfillment at work, or difficulties dealing with past trauma.

It is my great honor to support those who are anticipating a great loss or actively grieving one. The loss might be a loved one or it could be a job, a relationship, a home, etc. I also work with clients who are facing terminal illness and their own death and want to do so with compassion and intention. I deeply trust our innate drive to grieve and heal. I do not see people through a diagnosis or pathology lens. I believe that even symptoms of illness are our unconscious attempts to cope, protect, adapt and heal. My job is to deeply listen in order to understand and help clients to discover and trust their own inherent wisdom.

As a child of divorce and as a mother who has experienced the devastation of divorce, I understand the pain and struggles that go with the lived experience of divorce in families.
