Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I fully believe in the connection between body and mind and weave differing modalities into therapy in order to address each component of healing and wellness. Often we don't realize that just one simple tweak can launch you into the lifetime you want. My specialties include insight oriented talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused and strategic therapy. I provide psycho-education and real life solutions to problems that seem unsolvable at face value, but with that one tweak, you find out they were solvable all along.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I've been told that I bring something refreshing to therapy. My presentation is direct, yet empathetic and nurturing at the same time. I've been called the "Hippie Therapist." which I don't quite understand, though perhaps it is because people feel safe with me which is a strength in any capacity. As you work with me, I believe you will begin to see yourself as extremely valuable and relevant to others and most importantly, to yourself. I encourage you to own the freedom to change your mind and direction without any shame or guilt, ask questions, take risks and live your life with no regrets. Wayne Gretzky said it best, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Come see me. Together, we'll get you back on track.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My history is working with adults who have depression and anxiety, relationship distress, anger management issues, trauma histories, existential crisis and have co-occurring disorders which require medication treatment. Are you struggling with personal challenges affecting your relationships, work, social life and, most importantly, yourself. Do you miss that hope, that loving feeling for your partner or your kids? Complex, yet common, issues around love, family, purpose in life, and doing what truly makes you happy, have become overwhelming and you’re ready to do something different. Are you feeling underwhelmed? You may have recently undergone a loss, job change, life change, a psychiatric or medical emergency, and are feeling completely stuck. I work with couples who seek help communicating and bringing the love back into their relationship.
