I approach psychotherapy holistically, from the position that our emotions, thoughts, and behavior hang together in ways that make sense emotionally, even if this is not always apparent to us.

I believe, on the basis of research and my clinical work, that getting to the root of unwanted patterns is a matter of faci...
I provide psychotherapy to teens, emerging adults, and families. I offer a nurturing and warm environment where you will feel heard and safe. It is my belief that the therapeutic process works best when the therapist meets the client “where they are” and allows space for a working alliance to develop organically instead of coming to the session with their own agenda. Once understanding and trust have been established, we will delve into deeper therapeutic work to address where you feel stuck...
