Specializing in couples therapy, I am passionate about enhancing intimacy through effective communication. Yet, my practice is not limited to relationships; By fostering a nurturing, judgment-free environment, I ensure that no topic is off-limits, allowing for authentic expression and growth. I have a strong family history of mental illness and addiction, I am just trying to help make the world a better, freer, happier place. Increasing couple's intimacy through communication is my primary focus in couples' work.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I allow the clients to set their own goals as well as make changes to those goals while keeping a reminder of those they have set. I don't think that therapy is linear therefore works where we need to work instead of a firm focus. In the first session, I do a little history but also want to get to the root of what is going on to allow for learning and practicing coping.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have an eclectic approach to therapy, working with my clients within the time and space that they are in while providing guidance and empathetic listening. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who need to reduce their angst and increase their enjoyment of life, themselves, and one another.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

In setting goals, I believe in the client's autonomy. Therapy is a non-linear path where goals can evolve, mirroring the dynamic nature of personal progress. During our initial session, we'll explore your history briefly, but more importantly, we'll identify immediate concerns to establish coping strategies that will sustain you beyond our meetings.
