Through thick and thin the longest relationship you will have is with yourself, yet so often we give so much to others and forget to give to ourselves.

Therapy can be a place to deeper understand your experiences, foster your relationship with yourself, and heal. Together we can identify what you're experienci...

I work carefully, thoughtfully, and with compassionate focus, tailoring treatment modalities to meet each person's specific needs, goals, and circumstances. All modalities and offerings are person-centered, inviting individuals to have their own organic, authentic experience, and to trust their...

Are you an overthinker? Do your emotions interfere with your relationships? Our human brains are fascinating in what they allow us to accomplish, but sometimes they can be our own worst enemy! Sometimes overwhelming emotions and unhelpful thoughts interfere with our lives and cause significant distress. I created my practice to help people "be okay when things are not okay." This is done using a person-centered dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT) approach to help you gain insight into yourself wh...

What is important is that you have decided to begin the quest of understanding your past and present, and determining your future. I can join you on this quest. I have a broad experience across t...

I also believe that even in hardship there is a place to find joy in life without m...
