About My Clients

I help people with issues like anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and infertility. Together, we address the roots of painful emotions and patterns, and develop new ways of thinking and approaching problems. By shifting the way we think, we can begin to do things that may have felt impossible before. I am here to help guide you toward growth, healing, and deeper fulfillment in your life.

My Background and Approach

I use a positive psychology and strengths-based approach. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Schema therapy, and Mindfulness. These approaches help bring awareness to the ways that our thought patterns influence our emotions and behavior. Once we are aware of these patterns, we can be empowered to change them.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I always strive to make my therapy office a space of healing and hope for patients who have been misunderstood or mistreated. Having someone to talk to who really listens and understands the challenges you are going through can make suffering much easier to bear.
