About

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I collaborate actively with my clients to create a unique, highly beneficial therapeutic experience that generates positive movement and progress in their lives. I am very passionate about providing others with opportunities to feel safe and comfortable enough to explore who they are and who they want to be. My goal is to help you become an empowered agent of change in your own life. With the right skills and support, we are all capable of living healthier and more satisfying lives.

Some of my areas of specialization include relationship issues, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, motivation and self-esteem. Most importantly, I believe in treating the individual as a whole, and this often means attending to numerous types of struggles. In short, I specialize in treating complex and unique individuals!

There are some key factors that tend to ensure a successful therapeutic experience, including feeling connected to your therapist, feeling heard and understood, and feeling respected as an individual with inherent gifts and strengths. I do everything in my power to create that type of experience so growth and transformation take place.

Some of the tools I use to help clients include insight oriented work, psychodynamic exploration of how the past is impacting the present, CBT, client-centered interventions and unconditional positive regard (aka: the wonderful work introduced to us by Carl Rogers), existential therapy (an exploration of the individual's sense of meaning and purpose), somatic awareness (exploration of the mind-body connection), and mindfulness. Most importantly, I try to figure out what each client needs, and I select interventions based on their personalities and the specific issues they are dealing with.

I'm looking forward to learning more about you so we can figure out together how therapy can help you!
