“I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR Trained, and Certified Addictions Treatment Counselor who has worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families since 2013. For nearly a decade I have used a compassionately direct approach, with sprinkles of humor, exploration, and mindfulness to sit with clients on their path to identifying challenges, barriers, and narratives that stand between themselves and reconnecting to a sense of meaning, purpose, and freedom in their lives.
Whether your personal goals in therapy are to address recurring patterns in relationships with others, to investigate a shift in the way you feel in day to day life, to plan or adjust to new life-circumstances, or to find a safe place to process underlying burdens of shame, guilt, or trauma, my goal is to collaborate with you in a therapeutic relationship through which you can feel free to come as you are. At your pace, we will come to mutual understanding of your presenting concerns, identify your strengths and resiliencies, and develop effective strategies to use as we explore how thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences influence you and your relationship to the people and things you love.
I believe effective therapy cannot exist in a ‘one size fits all’ type approach, and I believe you have reached this place in time for your own beautiful reason. Let’s be curious about that, together.”
