Being a therapist is rewarding to me on many levels. I believe it's both my responsibility and privilege to join people on whatever journey they're on, whether they're struggling through a difficult life event, moving through a life transition, or grappling with the meaning of being a human being. I believe the relationship of trust I develop with my clients is an important foundation to successful therapy, and it will be a primary value during our work together. People often describe me as warm and compassionate, with a grounding presence and gentle approach to the work.

My technical approach to therapy is based on three therapeutic modalities: Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Narrative therapy, and Relational therapy. I will combine these approaches differently with each client to best serve what you are seeking in treatment. I have found these techniques work best in conjunction and can inform you with different approaches for reflection and growth. Using these techniques we will work to understand your story, your patterns of thoughts and behaviors, and gain an understanding of how this impacts your relationship to yourself and others.

Just as important to gaining understanding & insight is learning how to move forward. I believe building resilience to move through hard times is essential to your growth and ability to bounce back more quickly from setbacks. This is a main component we will focus on in your therapy alongside your other goals.
