Therapy style

I am especially interested in assisting clients through major life transitions: adolescent to adult, individual to family, parent to empty nest. I create a treatment plan specific to each client’s unique life situation and personal goals, and I believe in meeting my clients where they are in life in order to address the issues most critical to them. My approach is goal-oriented and solution-focused, and I believe that a collaborative approach works best for those seeking guidance for a better balanced, more fulfilling life. My approach to therapy is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps change negative thought patterns, and Interpersonal Therapy, which helps clients discover patterns in their life that have kept them from realizing their full potential.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Interpersonal Psychotherapy
  • Relational
  • Solution-focused
  • Strengths-based

Interests

I love to hike and to travel, to try new foods and experiences, and enjoy time with my dog and family. I love spending time with those who are important to me, but also make sure to take time for myself when I need to!
