About My Clients

I work largely with individuals who are struggling with mood- or anxiety-related symptoms. Treatment sessions are uniquely tailored to each clients' clinical profile and treatment goals. Together, we work to identify and address the presenting issues and collaborate to create a treatment plan that slowly helps sustain improvement.

My Background and Approach

When you're experiencing a challenging time in your life, time may feel as though it is standing still. The pain from life's rough patches can easily cause you to feel hopeless. Sometimes, there simply are no "right or wrong" answers, but solutions may be closer in reach than you think. My goal is to help you navigate through challenges - the grey areas - that make you feel powerless. I hope to help you discover meaning and your own unique center of gravity that will positively change the way you view yourself, others, and the world. i view therapy is an opportunity to engage in open discussion using a nonjudgmental, person-centered, and solution-driven approach. I am confident that, if you choose to begin this process, we can work together to achieve your short- and long-term goals. Your decision to engage in therapy is no doubt a courageous one - you are taking a chance on change, one worth taking.
