Creating a relationship that fosters positive and lasting change.

I want to convey that you will be provided a space to be known and heard on your journey towards healing. That path often takes unexpected twists and turns; it is my role to help you identify and foster the strengths necessary to navigate those challenges and fears.

My hope is to create a relationship between the therapist and the individual that fosters positive and lasting change. To that end, I work patiently to ensure a sense of trust and safety. In addition, I feel I work well with individuals who go to therapy to be challenged, to be "unstuck." In these cases, I can be supportive while also being firm and direct.

My experience includes treating adolescents and adults with a history of trauma, mood and personality disorders, life-transitions, and family conflict. Further, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with issues of ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, family problems, anger, stress, grief/bereavement and postpartum.
