Reaching out for help can be tough, so let me first congratulate you for taking this first step towards having the life you want. As an LCSW with 26 years experience helping people navigate life's challenges, I’m about meeting you where you're at, supporting you with evidence-based tools, and helping you make real progress toward a healthier, happier life.

My approach is person-centered, meaning that I believe you already have the wisdom and strength you need to tackle the challenges that life throws your way. My job is to assist you in uncovering the wisdom and strength that lies within you. Through the unfolding of your native insight and actualizing a greater sense of strength and calm, you are able to live a richer, fuller, and more meaningfule life.

Ultimately, therapy is driven by you, by what you are comfortable with and by what makes sense to you. In collaboration with you, I draw from several healing modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, CBT, ACT, and Positive Psychology to help you achieve your goals. These tools are not just methods, but pathways that help you align with your true self, embrace your emotional landscape, and restore a sense of peace and purpose.

Approach to Therapy

Life can be incredibly tough, and when you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burdened by past traumas, it can seem like there's no way out. But you don't have to face it alone. I understand how hard it can be to navigate these challenges, and I'm here to help you find the clarity and healing you need. Whether you're struggling with substance use, unhealthy patterns to cope, anxiety, depression, just trying to make sense of it all, or we can work together to uncover the roots of your pain and build a path toward a life that feels more peaceful, balanced, and truly your own. Imagine waking up feeling more in control, where your past no longer dictates your present, and you have the tools to handle life's challenges with confidence. Using ACT, CBT, DBT and Positive Psychology, we'll work to heal the pain you've buried deep so you can feel better, connect more deeply, and create the life you truly want. Therapy should feel human-you deserve support that meets you where you are. Whether you're overwhelmed, seeking clarity, or just need space to breathe, I invite you to reach out. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to talk about your goals and see if we're a good fit. Let's take the next step together.
