Accepting New Clients. Often what brings people to therapy can be summed up by the word “stuck”. You might be stuck in a rut; under a cloud of sadness or depression; caught in the spin cycle of anxiety; trying to process relationship issues or a big decision; or wanting to move past trauma or grief & loss. Maybe someone or something in your life has given you a soft or firm nudge in the direction of therapy. We’ll work through whatever you bring to therapy in a way that prepares you to meet any difficulties along the road while you reach your goals.

When faced with relationships, family, employment, or personal emotional difficulties, it is hard to know who to trust. Family, friends, and co-workers might have well intended advice, but it is not what you really needed to feel better. You need a safe place to heal from past trauma, ongoing mental illness with someone who truly listens and is knowledgeable. The idea of therapy can be scary for some, but with the right provider, you can feel more confident, self-compassionate, and able to cope with those challenges in life.

I have a great passion for working with people of all age groups, children through adults. I use a strengths-based approach to therapy, and often use models that include cognitive-behavioral and family-centered elements, as well as the ACT theory. Because people and situations are all unique, I also believe in the importance of collaborating with individuals and families to find a therapeutic approach that best fits with specific needs.
