Services offered

Together, my clients and I identify the roots of anxiety, address family dysfunction, heal past trauma,
and create a new roadmap for the future.

My goal is to help my clients live happier, healthier lives. I would describe my style as friendly and warm, but above all, authentic! No single approach works for every person, so sessions are tailored to the individual client.

I blend various modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors) and dialectical behavior therapy (helping to regulate out-of-control emotions).

I emphasize boundary-setting and communication techniques as tools for getting the most out of life and relationships.
