You may be seeking support for any number of reasons, such as depression, workplace stress, grief and loss, shame, trauma, anxiety, loneliness, clarity around transitions, disconnection in your relationships, addictions, or any number of other experiences. Every human deserves a safe, confidential place they can go to where they needn’t feel judged, rushed, or pressured. I aim for my office to be a sanctuary that can hold the hopes and aspirations for your life. I work with individuals, couples, and families around their unique goals, needs, and challenges.
After studying and practicing various techniques and modalities over the fifteen years I've worked in social work and therapy settings, I found a true passion for utilizing Internal Family Systems. This theory creates healing for couples, individuals, and younger clients who are struggling with a variety of issues.
Choosing someone to talk to about your innermost struggles and fears is not an easy task. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for people to tell their stories and to rebuild themselves and their relationships. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you and guide you in your journey to become the person you wish to be.
