As a therapist, my goal is to help my clients form better relationships, understand the patterns in their life, recognize their potential, and increase their resilience. To truly "know thyself" can be a difficult task, and I am committed to helping others embark upon their journey of self exploration. If you are facing depression, anxiety, strained relationships, feelings of helplessness, low self-esteem, poor performance at school or work, or other challenges, you may be a good candidate for therapy.

Services
I come from a multidisciplinary background and utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to assist my clients.
My style tends to be empathic, insight oriented, interactive, and empowering.
Typically I tend to use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy; however, therapy is not limited to one particular type or technique.
I am trained in several different approaches.
I tend to combine techniques from these various approaches to meet the needs and fit the personalities of my clients.

People who are uncomfortable with the idea of connecting past experiences with present day patterns (a more traditional form of psychotherapy), will love life coaching as an alternative!
Therapy is very useful for individuals who are stuck, struggling or unhappy, but are unclear on the cause of their dissatisfaction.
For those who are more interested in specific goal-oriented work, life coaching is an action-oriented approach that helps clients prioritize goals, uncover blocks preventing them from reaching their goals, and create a plan of action to accomplish those goals.

Relationships are the greatest tools we have in life to grow, learn, and deepen our experience of love and purpose.
Few things impact our sense of well-being like our ability to recognize, develop, and maintain healthy relationships.
They can be our biggest source of connection and strength or a tremendous source of pain.
Couples therapy provides a wonderful opportunity to expand a couple's awareness, identify ways in which they might be "stuck, " pinpoint the root causes of conflict, and learn to communicate in ways that increase understanding and trust.

The 30's can be a strange and confusing decade in my clients' lives.
They have often created goals and expectations for themselves, and if those goals (whether related to their career, romantic relationships, children, or health) are not met, they are frequently left feeling disappointed, hopeless, confused, angry, and insecure.
If those goals are achieved, they are often left feeling disillusioned, bored, overwhelmed, unsatisfied or have a "now what?" attitude.
Discussing these feelings in therapy can be a rewarding way to find purpose and meaning in my clients' lives and can also provide an outlet to understand themselves more deeply and learn what is most rewarding for them.

We've all heard of a midlife crisis but, no one talks about the quarter-life crisis that has become more of an issue in recent years.
It's the "I have no job, no money, no direction and I'm living with my parents!" crisis.
Entering the real world after twenty years in a structured environment can cause culture shock and disillusionment.
The structure starts in elementary school, and continues through middle school and high school.
My clients knew that they needed to get good grades to get into a good college.
