I am a passionate, person-centered, adults’ specialist. My focus for 18+ individuals is on those who struggle with concerns related to depression, anxiety, poor communication skills, low self-esteem, life adjustments, and intimacy concern.  

One of my biggest specialties and passions is working with couples. With couples I focus on marriages that need to strengthen their connection (feeling like roommates or missing that spark?), infidelity related issues, intimacy issues, conflict or communication issues, and pre-marital concerns. I offer a compassionate, empathetic but direct approach. Homework is often assigned to strengthen connection and communication skills outside the therapeutic setting.  

I have a strong interest in and enthusiasm for working with young adults (18-26) as they navigate new obstacles at this stage of life. Balancing newfound independence, friendships, romantic relationships, identity, work, job/school stress and exploring their own values and interests. This stage of life can be complex to navigate, and leaves lingering questions about the past, present, and future. Together we can process these questions, so that you are not alone. This age can also set the tone for future and current romantic relationships. I work with clients to heal and unlearn past unhealthy relationship habits to help foster healthier relationships.  

I acknowledge and respect that all individuals are highly unique, and therapy approaches and styles CANNOT be a one size fits all method. I utilize a collaborative and creative approach to ensure the best tailored mental health strategy for YOU. My clients experience a judgment free, safe environment to express and explore their feelings, while helping achieve their individualized goals and maintain accountability. I also work to help each client learn about attachment styles and any childhood trauma that has lingering impacts on the present.  

I incorporate Gestalt, Person Centered, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality, and Existential therapy into my practice. I also incorporate Gottman Method (I am level 1 certified), IFS techniques, and Sex therapy techniques.
