Are you feeling like you or your loved one should be getting more out of life than you have been? Sometimes we need a compassionate, objective person to help us sort out problems, regain perspective and enjoy life and our relationships again. It is important for you to feel a connection with your therapist and to sense that the therapist has your best interests at heart. I work from a solution-focused, experiential perspective, building on the power of the therapeutic relationship and clients' personal strengths to support lasting change while working with couples, families, individuals, and children. I focus on healing client relationships to help with the process of personal growth. I have seen clients experience relief from problems like anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and trauma; engage in more effective and fulfilling relationships; and operate from a more meaningful and empowered emotional place following time in therapy. I specialize in work with adults, couples, and families, and also have specific training in play therapy and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. I enjoy family work around parenting and working with kids and teens to develop life skills so they can reach their full potential at home and school.
