Therapy is a journey, and my role is to help guide and encourage individuals, couples, and families to work through their challenges and bring calmness and joy into their lives through insight and resolution. A supportive direct communication style is used to allow clients to explore, discover and heal themselves.

Using a holistic and integrative approach grounded in psychodynamic theory, I am committed to helping my clients gain insight and self-awareness and feel empowered to alter their present experiences by making intentional decisions that align with their values.

I approach my clients with warmth and compassion. My primary therapy styles include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, emotion-focused therapy, solution-focused and strengths-based therapy.

My experience also includes working with those with anxiety, panic, social anxiety, self-esteem, or depression related issues.

My approach to psychotherapy is based on a relational model. I have found this model to be necessary for permanent change. How people relate to others is formed in the relationship patterns they experienced as a child. We spend years learning how to behave in certain ways, and it can take some time and effort to learn new ways to interact with others. Further, for lasting change, we must experience new ways of interacting with others; in short, a therapist. If you have questions about how my approach to therapy might be helpful to you, please contact me. Thanks.
