Therapy style

I love helping people live their best lives. For some people, that means managing anxiety or depression, starting a relationship, or ending one. Sometimes we need some help navigating the feelings that come along with life changes related to parenting, work, and finding meaning. I use a cognitive approach to increase insight and understanding about who we are and why we do what we do. I am experienced working with couples as well as with mental health professionals. During our sessions, you can expect respect, expertise, kindness, humor, and a safe place to be yourself. I look forward to speaking with you!
