I will assist you in identifying challenges and unhelpful patterns, learn new ways of coping, and increase your capabilities to move out of unhealthy habi

My therapeutic approach is infused with a passion for creating and providing open and interactive dialogue, empowering adults of all ages to meet life’s problems, transitions, and tough decisions with greater confidence and awareness. Utilizing techniques from evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral, short-term problem-solving therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices, I will assist you in identifying challenges and unhelpful patterns, learn new ways of coping, and increase your capabilities to move out of unhealthy habits and empower you to make clear and meaningful choices and changes you desire. I recognize that each individual can benefit from a unique blend of best practices and enjoy engaging effectively and energetically with clients to find that mix. My strong belief in the mind-body connection and the power of supportive relationships and networks will help you uncover new talents and inner resources to focus forward on what matters most.
