My belief is that we are all human trying to learn and grow in an ever changing environment. Change for some can be difficult to cope with and result in maladaptive coping skills and other mental health concerns when emotions overwhelm us. I believe that the therapy relationship should always be collaborative and I approach every individual differently to meet their needs with where they are in life. In the therapy process we will assess your different environments and relationships to help understand your current barriers you are seeking help with.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in positive regard: I recognize that each client has a complex history and am committed to creating an environment where you can openly explore your internal and external experiences, free from judgment and criticism. I prioritize a collaborative therapeutic relationship, where you can retain autonomy and agency throughout the process. Above all, the quality of the therapeutic relationship can often be the biggest contributing factor to successful therapeutic outcomes, so it’s okay to be picky!

If you’re here, you may be carrying stress, worry, self-doubt, conflict, or facing unwanted change. My role is to meet you where you are and work with you to sort through what’s getting in the way. Together, we’ll focus on practical steps to make daily life feel lighter and more meaningful. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, or a major transition, therapy can help you step back, gain perspective, and develop tools you can carry forward long after our work together.

I believe in tailoring the therapy to meet each client's individual needs. I primarily use psychodynamic therapy which helps the client gain self-insight but also use a variety of therapeutic techniques including mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral methods. Being able to stand back from one's self and gain perspective about one's personality, choices and actions are important in helping an individual work through issues. I help the client explore what issues from the past or present may be contributing to depression or anxiety.

Anxiety is awful. Most people just do not understand how difficult it is to live with chronic worry, panic attacks, or obsessive thoughts and unwanted behavior. Gladly, most people will never have to know how horrible it is to have nagging obsessive thoughts, or fear panicking in public places. The variety of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) like Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) are quite effective in increasing distress tolerance, reducing anxiety, and eliminating the dysfunctional behaviors that accompany it.

My approach involves meeting each individual person where they are when they start therapy and forming a warn collaborative relationship. I provide a safe and comfortable environment in which people can explore the concerns that brought them into psychotherapy. Relationships are complex and people often want to understand more about how they interact with others and evolve in a way that promotes having better relationships.

Life sometimes presents with challenges and obstacles that seem impossible to get through. One may often times feel alone and that there's nowhere to turn; but there truly is. I look at the whole individual and their experience as unique and focus on helping the person reveal their true self; the person they always wanted to be.

In my approach to counseling, I listen attentively and non-judgmentally. I focus on people’s stories and the stories the world tells about them. I value these narratives, and hold them during our work together so that we may reference them in the process of creating a story that feels more in line with my clients goals and purpose. I also work with clients in exploring ways to alleviate suffering, reduce stress and increase self empowerment and enjoyment of one's life. My approach is strengths based and I believe we each have all the answers we need within us, sometimes we just need help teasing them out or trusting them.

It is unbearably painful watching your child struggle to make friends, repeatedly battling school pressures, and arguing their way through their world at home. Ultimately facing an internal dialog that they are less than their peers because of how they are behaving. As a parent, it is heartbreaking to feel as though everything you are trying is not working and the divide between you is getting ever larger. Many times, the best support we, as parents, can offer, is to seek professional help. Guidance through what your child might grappling with and building in new skills, can be a window into change and connection. So how can I help?

Welcome to a safe space for self-discovery and healing. I work with clients navigating complex, developmental, and attachment trauma, as well as depression and anxiety. Many are thoughtful, self-aware people who may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, especially in relationships or in how they relate to themselves.
My space is real, relational, and relaxed. If you need a strictly formal or highly clinical approach, we probably won’t be a great fit. If hearing the occasional curse word feels grounding rather than shocking, you’re in the right place.
