About

Hello and Welcome to my Page!

It’s hard to imagine a more accurate stereotype than the image of an unhappy adult reclined on a chaise lounge while venting about an unhappy childhood. Though the stereotype might be overly simplified, the reality is your childhood and adolescent years go on to color the rest of your life, shaping your personality, relationships, goals, and opinions. The importance of these years is what drew me to the field. From my very first placement as a graduate school intern, I was especially drawn towards the prospect of helping people navigate their way through times that can feel like a rollercoaster.

More broadly, my successes in working with people helped me understand that our futures are never etched in stone. At any age, therapy can help break negative cycles and help us gain the tools to construct a clear and positive sense of ourselves. I believe in doing the work together to help my clients get to the place they want to be.

I believe in using several different modalities, and more specifically meeting my clients where they are at so that together, we can find the best treatment approach that works for them. I am Adoption Competent Certified, a facilitator of Circle of Security Parenting, trained in Trust Based Relational Intervention, and other attachment based modalities that I use when working with parents and families. In individual therapy, I love to do art therapy, CBT, and use client-centered approaches. I look forward to meeting anyone who is willing to work together!
