"I believe I have skills that can help clients bring nutrients to the soil of their narratives and thus grow new perspectives and coping skills."

ABOUT

FIRST STEP 

I want to take a moment to affirm and acknowledge this first step you've taken toward self-care and healing! It's not always easy to reach out for support.

 

Let's get curious about the possibilities of collaborating!

I think therapy can be a safe space to talk about all the things that you deal with every day. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. Therapy can often help you develop innovative, strategic solutions for life’s complexities.

​

I value helping you rediscover your creativity in order to build resilience and resources to face challenges. My strength is in listening to the nuances, silences, and subtleties in your life story and then providing ideas that may help you unscramble the "puzzle" that is challenging you. I prefer to think of therapy as a "live laboratory," so I apply the interventions that will best serve you and your unique situation.
