One thing I’ve learned through the years is that improving how we perceive ourselves can be the most powerful tool we have for positive change and growth. My first priority is to provide you support, to understand your greatest concerns, how your life has been impacted and to then create a plan with you to meet your goals. Depending on your needs, we may utilize several different modalities of treatment. Therapy is a collaborative journey and it’s not all science. It requires a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and understanding. I will strive to bring those essential aspects to every therapeutic relationship.

I knew I wanted to assist people in making significant positive changes in how they felt. Through studying and practicing cognitive therapy, solution-focused therapy and EMDR it became clear that teaching very specific tools could make all the difference.
Music, travel, family, and friends.
Working out, yoga, and meditation.
Workout, talk to a friend, step outside and breathe.
I have an adorable tuxedo cat named Theo. When he was newly adopted and tiny, my daughter was getting dressed for Halloween. She was dressed as a cat, with ears and a tail…Theo took one look at her and flew off in a panic and tried to escape through a closed window :( In later weeks when he came across parts of her costume strewn on the floor he would attack each piece (especially the ears) getting his revenge.
