My main priority is getting to know my clients’ stories, what’s brought them to therapy, and what their story says about their past. I then learn what are their challenges at the present moment, and where they would like to be in the future. I believe healing occurs in a healthy relationship and I support my clients to find meaning within their web of interpersonal relationships.
My clinical practice focuses on family relationships, intergenerational patterns within families, and how those patterns have found their way into the present life. I work with individuals, families, and couples, focusing on healing and discovering internal liberation.

I enjoy hiking and providing volunteer services at animal shelters.
I exercise, read poetry, and listen to classical music daily which enables me to maintain my overall well-being.
I have read When Nietzsche Wept a few times because it was a deep emotional and intellectual learning experience for me and helped me to rethink my position as a therapist.
I have a dog (German Shepherd) who has an unending desire to chew my favorite books.
