I believe in the power of choice, acceptance, and our innate ability to exercise choice and to make change. I believe we are organic, sentient beings and accessing the connection between our breath, body, and mind grows a more authentic self rooted in the present.

  Life transitions and the shifting of roles prescribed or adopted are a key piece of my work with adults. I help clients find meaning and identify their strengths and healthy strivings, and help them develop positive, respectful, and effective skills of communication. Inviting clients to grow comfortable being uncomfortable helps them have the tough conversations with themselves, their partner(s), children, friends, or coworkers.

Recognizing we are all different and that people are not defined by their diagnoses, I meet clients where they are and taking their lead collaborate to create and move towards short- and long-term goals with a therapy style that best fits their needs. From a trauma informed care approach and client-centered base, I draw from my experiences with Positive Psychology, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Eco-Systemic Structural Therapy. 

I am driven by a strong desire to help people find peace in the shelter of belonging. My approach is supported by

core-based empathy,

genuine curiosity,

kindness,

a sense of humor,

and lastly, a life full of experience.
