Let's make sense of things together.

Our lives and relationships are often overwhelming. When we face stressful times we often find we aren’t equipped to handle these struggles alone. I strive to approach therapy with honesty, empathy, and humor to help you feel seen, heard, and less alone. As a Marriage and Family Therapist I tailor my therapy approach to each client for individual, couples, or family therapy. I aim to provide a safe space for clients who are struggling with ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, meaning, purpose, relationship issues, and self-esteem. If this sounds like the kind of setting you are seeking, please call to schedule an initial visit. I primarily collaborate with adults (18+) who struggle with ADHD, depression, anxiety, or childhood trauma. I use an approach that combines evidence based elements of mindfulness, motivational interviewing, acceptance & commitment therapy, and client centered therapy, as well as CBT and others. I also work with couples utilizing Gottman Method concepts.
