I support individuals and couples who seek more peace, contentment, and meaning in their lives. I work with my clients to create more self-compassion and self-acceptance and improve their ability to tolerate the difficult emotions and experiences that come with being human.
My style as a therapist is integrative and holistic. I believe that the mind-body-spirit connection is integral to understanding the whole person. I value connection, creating safety, and allowing my clients to feel seen, heard, and understood.
I bring my authentic self into the therapy room. My foremost goal is to connect with my client, as the client-therapist relationship is integral to the healing power of therapy.
I also draw from evidence-based, post-modern, and creative approaches, depending on the client’s needs and goals for therapy.
If my degree in Marital and Family Therapy means that I only see married couples and families. The simple answer is no.
The essence of this degree is in the greater system that all humans are part of. Everyone has a past, a network of people (both personally and professionally), and a society and community in which they are part of.
As an MFT, I believe in the importance of considering how all of these factors influence my client and impact their present functioning

• Being there to reinitiate therapy if the needs arises.
