You have more wisdom than you think.

I believe that you are the expert on your life. Even when you feel the most lost, you have wisdom and experience that can help you to find your way again. All my work is based on the idea that you can find this innate wisdom and strength when you’re given the chance.

My job is to help you find your inner wisdom and accompany you along the way. Sometimes you will find your own solutions just by talking through things; sometimes I’ll offer tools or different ways of approaching a problem that can help you to find new solutions. Sometimes the most important thing is simply to have your story heard, and this in and of itself helps you to move forward.  I work collaboratively with you as a team to figure out how you can make the changes you’d like to see.

Therapeutic Style

Therapy with me is an exploration of your deepest self, a process of growing into your limitless potential, and a journey of becoming more vibrantly alive.

My therapeutic style is eclectic, using a variety of techniques tailored to match your particular needs. It is also holistic, meaning that I always look at you as whole person rather than a set of symptoms. The starting point is building a safe and respectful space for you, which is fundamental to all of our work together.

Specific theories I draw from include psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, existential counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), internal family systems (IFS), and mindfulness-based techniques.

We might be a great fit if you’re an adult looking for support with anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, life transitions, building stronger relationships, finding a deeper sense of meaning and purpose, or finding clarity in your relationship with your religious life or upbringing; and if you find that talking through things and gaining insight into yourself is helpful.

If you have a desire to deepen your understanding of yourself, love more joyfully, and live a more vibrant, fulfilling life, then let's get down to work.
