I work primarily from psychodynamic and family systems perspectives. I believe that our earlier experiences shape us but don't define us. Making sense of these experiences allows us to make changes in the here and now.
I don't believe in "mental illness": No one comes to therapy because has been too awesome. When we can identify the source of your pain and heal it, we can change your life. Everyone can get better. They just need to find the right therapist.

When I meet with someone, we make a plan to help things feel manageable. Then, I help you learn to shift your thoughts and take the power away from your fears. Finally, you can focus on enjoying your life and feel more connected to others.

My approach is about meeting you where you are at, meaning if you are still deciding whether to discuss something, there is no need for me to push you. I hope gradually building on our relationship will help you feel more comfortable sharing.
Together we will find a way through challenges.

My goal is to learn as much about you as possible so that together we can find and devise ways to meet your goals. I also like to laugh with my clients. We are able to humanize our interactions by seeing the good and the challenges faced.
