My first responsibility is to create a safe and comforting space for people to share their stories. We are all faced with difficult and overwhelming challenges in life. Therapy is a place and time where a person who is facing overwhelming life challenges comes for non-judgmental and honest but empathetic care.

My ever-evolving approach includes a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, always starting with person-centered, strength-based, and including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-focused therapies.

It is also a collaborative space in which you are the driving force behind where you want therapy to take you. We work together to identify goals for our therapy and then a therapeutic plan to move toward those goals. This is a dynamic process of working on your issues, assessing progress, and adapting the approach where needed.

When a person decides to engage in therapy, they have already made a brave and healthy choice. I deeply believe that everyone has unwavering value, interpersonal dignity, and a compelling purpose. I consider it my privilege to help others find freedom and meaning and to live life to the fullest.
