I am able to work successfully with clients who arrive in my office with a diverse variety of reasons for seeking psychotherapy. No matter the situation or circumstances, motivations for seeking therapy, I can help assist in your search for bliss and help you on your journey to healing.

We each have the ability to journey from being stuck to unstuck; from feeling trapped to feeling free; from compromising our values to creating a life with integrity; from being preoccupied in thoughts from the past to creating a life in the present. I am dedicated to helping you navigate through your unique life circumstances and feelings so that you feel your life is authentic, a life in which you will thrive.

I look forward to developing a meaningful connection with you and starting that journey.

I help individuals bring about change in order to live more effective and joyful lives, using Interpersonal, Dialectical and Person-Centered therapies.

Let me provide a safe, validating space and assist you as you face your challenges, discover new choices and find solutions.
