It can be difficult to find the "right" therapist. Many clients are nervous about what therapy entails and wonder if counseling will really help them.

Sometimes these problems come from an identifiable stressor (such as trauma), and other times are more nebulous. I am committed to helping you better understand yourself and create long-lasting change.

I have ample experience and enjoy working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and career concerns.

My approach draws from my training in family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, Accceptance & Commitment Therapy, & Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

When you feel like you have too much on your plate, therapy allows you to come up for air, engage in meaningful self-reflection, and discover what you are made of and how you can be true to yourself going forward. Maybe you're struggling with recognizing and communicating your needs to others, or perhaps life is going really well and you're terrified of messing it up - I can help. My style of practice is authentic, compassionate, and straightforward, and I believe that a sense of humor goes a long way in helping people feel comfortable and connected.
