About My Clients

I am looking for clients that are motivated to make a change in their life and are ready to put in the hard work necessary to get beyond the trauma of the past and start living a life full of direction and purpose. I enjoy working with couples and I have a special place in my heart for those suffering from addiction and disordered eating. We will take a deep dive into what it is that is causing you to feel the way you do and make a plan to get you feeling better.

My Background and Approach

The analogy I give to explain how I approach therapy is that you are at the wheel and I am sitting shotgun. You know where you want to go and I'm next to you giving you the tools you need to get there. Sometimes my role is as simple as turning the map over to help you look at it differently and other times my role requires me to get out and fill the gas tank. No matter what your journey looks like, I can't wait to join you for it!
