For Clients
As we navigate life in this complicated world, we develop beliefs, perceptions, and narratives about who we are based on our experiences - both good and bad. While some of these thought patterns are supportive, others can be harmful and might be keeping you stuck in negative cycles. I work to help you identify, challenge, and rewrite those unhelpful beliefs.

Adults (25-64)
Couples
I believe that every human being has unique strengths, talents, and resources that often remain uncovered or minimized amidst an onslaught of life stressors. I work collaboratively with you to bring out your strengths and help you change, accept, or remove life stressors so you can get back on track with your purpose and goals. Together, we’ll challenge and overcome the obstacles that have become hurdles.
Our journey together will be as unique as you are, as this type of work cannot be one-size-fits-all. Instead, I’ll tailor my methods to match your experience, trauma, and life situation. We’ll follow the path you need to follow. Along the way I might challenge those negative thought patterns, suggest a visit to your primary care physician to rule out physical causes of your mental health status, or refer you to a psychiatrist to explore the option of medication if I think it might be helpful. As your therapist, my goal is to help you live a life with purpose and meaning.
