About My Clients

Do you feel up and down? Your emotions are so intense you have a big pit in your stomach and you just want it to go away! Perhaps you are experiencing conflict with a loved one and desperately want to make things better somehow? You just want to feel normal again. You long for those close relationships, but you aren't sure what to do to repair them. I know exactly how you feel, and this is how most of my clients feel when they enter therapy. Take the next step and book an appointment.

My Background and Approach

Marriage and family therapists view things through a systemic perspective. This means, I consider all the ways in which you interact with others and how those dynamics are impacting your life. I have an integrative approach to therapy depending on the individual client, their presenting problem, and what resonates with them. I focus on skill development and identification of thought patterns holding you back. Then we work on developing the skills you need to make the necessary change you desire in your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that all of us are life long learners who want to lead fulfilling and connected lives. I always view my glass as half full. I believe in the power of positivity and perspective. As humans we are built for connection and it is important that every person finds their place in this world. I absolutely love cats. I find them very intriguing creatures. My favorite place to spend time outside of my work is on the water whether that is a beach somewhere, floating on a boat, or jet skiing!
