About My Clients

My clients are often looking to improve their relationships and develop new skills in order to live their best lives. Whether misunderstandings happen among significant others or within families, the frustrating results of unproductive communication cycles may affect many areas of your life. Through warm acceptance and a bit of humor, I meet clients where they are and collaborate to find a way forward to better know yourself and experience healing in your most important relationships.

My Background and Approach

My approach is based in my training as a marriage and family therapist. I look beyond the individual to their whole system of relationships to help you build insight and understanding. Based on your unique needs and goals, I utilize an integrative approach from evidence-based theories including mindfulness, solution focused therapy, emotion focused therapy, and internal family systems, among others. In our safe therapeutic space, special consideration is given to how trauma can alter perception and affect your mind-body connection.
