(she/her)
I have spent my career supporting children and families and truly believe that those core relationships are essential to a happy, healthy life. We all have challenges that arise from those relationships, some of which have contributed to intense feelings which make it difficult to live the life we want. I am determined to help people to navigate through those challenges and develop the skills to grow into the person they want to be.
Therapy can be very intimidating. But I am here for you. I will take the time to understand what brought you to therapy and what you need out of therapy. I will learn who you are as a person so that I can best understand how to help you. This is a collaborative process, driven by you.
I don't want therapy to feel like therapy. I work hard to infuse different therapeutic techniques without making it feel formulaic. You are the author of your own story - I am just here to guide you along the way with the experience and tools that I bring to each session.
I work best with adults who are navigating through the myriad of life's challenges - including parenting, family conflict, relationships, depression/anxiety, overcoming traumatic experiences (acute or historical), and life transitions. I prefer individuals with a growth mindset, who are willing to do "homework", in order to maximize the benefit of therapy so they can move on successfully in their life as quickly as possible.

I have had extensive training in Solution Focused Brief Treatment, and have provided training to others in this modality. I do not exclusively use SFBT but rather infuse it into my practice alongside other modalities.
I am trained in CBT and utilize it alongside other modalities. I utilize tools such as Automatic Thought Record to help individuals process their thoughts and feelings.
Although I have particular strengths in my use of CBT and SFBT, I overall use an eclectic approach. I believe that everyone is unique, and there is no one size fits all approach to helping; therefore, it is critical that I use all of the tools in my toolbox.
