I have worked with clients with diverse backgrounds consisting of a wide range of concerns, including depression, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and grief and loss.
Our first session will start with introductions and then discuss the specific challenges you have been struggling with. This will allow me to develop a specific approach to assist you in working through issues that has caused significant distress.
I hold the firm belief that people are perfectly imperfect and often become stuck in life’s challenges, causing unhappiness and an inability to live fulfilling lives. I am integrative in my approach to therapy, consisting of solution-focused, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction.

Other specialties
I identify as
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused therapy encourages individuals to construct solutions rather than focusing on the presenting problems. This short-term, goal-oriented approach to therapy allows one to develop a preferred future by seeing how life will be different when the issue is gone or the situation is improved.
Narrative
Narrative therapy teaches and encourages individuals to view themselves as separate from their problems by separating presenting issues from their personalities. This approach to therapy helps people become experts in their stories.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Emphasizes the therapist's understanding of a client’s background and belief system as it relates to their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or other important elements that make up someone’s culture and/or identity.
