Overcome Your Struggles.

You may be seeking help because of an upsetting event in your life, or you may have struggled with a particular issue for a long time. My approach is relational and collaborative and I will listen carefully to your thoughts and feelings and work closely with you to find the true reasons and meaning behind your suffering. When these are fully understood you can move through life with more calm, confidence, and clarity..

I provide a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental place where you be who you are and feel deeply understood. I will help you feel more grounded and empowered so that you can integrate positive emotional experiences, improve your self-esteem, and have more satisfying, balanced relationships.

I am dedicated to helping my patients. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, a difficult relationship, or simply a hard time in life, I can help you overcome your struggles. I work with individuals and couples of all backgrounds and orientations. Therapy isn't always easy, but it can change your life.
