About My Clients

If you are searching for ways to manage your mental health through powerful and transparent wellness methods, a great deal of our focus can be on holistic methods to compliment your existing practices. Or if you are in a life transition of any kind, I absolutely love exploring how to help folks create shifts to ease this adjustment you may be going through. I also have a passion for helping couples learn how to live within their relationships in a way that empowers them and their partner(s).

My Background and Approach

Over my 10+ years working as a therapist, my most important aspect to how I operate is this: you are the expert in your own life. My role as your therapist is to explore with you where it is you are stuck, and utilize a very person-centered approach, while providing you with evidence-based practices to help get you unstuck. My second most important aspect: is allowing you to be witnessed in all of your human-ness, holding space for you to excavate what you need and then cultivate a life you desire living. While working with me, you can expect me to look at your whole entire picture, and not just with the current symptoms you may be experiencing (because all of it matters). You can expect me to offer lots of space to reflect and also lots of space to get to work on how to make the shifts you want.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As you may have read in my Background/approach, I strongly believe these things: 1. you are the expert in your own life. 2. You are human and experiencing a great deal of human things. 3. My job as your therapist is to be your guide; highlighting what I see in your world, where some adjustments could be made, but ultimately, you make the decisions. 4. Throughout this process, you will probably stumble, but I will never consider this failure *(and hope you don't either), but I consider it lots of data for you to work with; data for you to then reframe how you are operating and find a different way to make it work for you.
