I see therapy as a collaborative process exploring how the past informs the present and allowing trust and authenticity to foster insight and development. After 17 years of practicing therapy, I strive to provide the highest quality of care, focusing on the unique needs of each individual and creating a safe environment with room for challenges, exploration, process, and growth.
Therapy requires hard work from both therapist and client in order to yield desired results. Your courage to show up and participate can allow for growth through increased awareness, mindfulness of thoughts and emotions, more effective coping strategies, and stronger relationships. I welcome the opportunity to join you as you start this empowering process.
I help clients learn and practice skills for tolerating pain in times of crisis, responding instead of reacting, increasing self-respect, improving relationships, and participating fully in each moment. My ultimate goal is to help my clients build and nurture a life they feel is worth living.
My therapeutic style integrates a cognitive behavioral approach with mindfulness. Therapy provides a unique opportunity to slow down and examine emotional and behavioral patterns that are ineffective, and create positive change.
