We all strive to be better versions of ourselves. We all need connection, purpose, and meaning to facilitate growth and inspire the change we long for in our lives. I enjoy working with people who are motivated, open, and genuinely curious to learn more about themselves. By allowing the unconscious to become conscious, it can help you experience greater freedom and agency in your life. What obstacles are currently preventing you from having happier, healthier relationships and becoming the best version of yourself? Together we will work to understand your individual needs and learn how to help you attain your therapeutic goals.

Having worked with children and families and the many challenges they face for more than 20 years,I know that the decision to seek professional help can often be a very difficult one. I have a background in child and adolescent mental health and have worked with families extensively around these issues. I provide therapy to children, teenagers, and adults and families. I specialize in working with children and adults who have experienced trauma, have attachement issues, learning disabilities, autism, anxiety and depression.

What we see as a problem can be a profound gift from Life. Each time we encounter our pain, our depression, our anxiety or a reoccurring argument with a partner, we are asked to grow, dig deeper, learn new truths or skills, or new ways of perceiving our lives, ourselves, and our loved ones. When we take the time to answer the call that life has given us, we can greatly enrich, deepen, and even heal our lives and ourselves. I believe in providing a safe and sacred space where clients can begin to open to a new experience of themselves using compassion as our guide, our mentor, and our lens. As we open to our experience, the good with the bad, we find that we are more resilient that we thought; we find renewed hope or a deeper sense of meaning as we discover new strengths, insights, or gifts about ourselves and our lives.
