I am passionate about cultivating  a space for my clients where they are able to practice authenticity and vulnerability and feel a type of connection that can be brought back into their relationships in the outside world. I challenge my clients to think and feel deeply about their concerns and help to elicit change by showing up with radical candor. 

The approach I use varies to fit the style and presenting issues of each client. Some clients place greater importance on alleviating symptoms quickly, while others want to address the underlying causes of these symptoms so that more substantial inner growth can occur. Typically, I take a holistic approach, combining in-depth traditional talk therapy with more recent, empirically validated, and present-focused approaches. I sometimes utilize techniques that feel more like “life coaching” by helping clients change behaviors and make decisions that help lead them toward relationship and career goals.

• You often wonder, what is it that I want from life? Why do I feel anxious, bored, and stressed a lot of the time but seem to also have lots of moments of joy, abundance, and fulfillment?

• You juggle your responsibilities, chase perfection with the tenacity of a marathon runner, and guard your commitments fiercely 90% of the time. Then life throws you a curveball and all of a sudden it doesn’t feel so doable anymore.

• You tackle the many challenges that come with parenting, taking care of your parents and working a full time job and while all of that is going OK, it would be nice to have an unbiased space to process the feelings that are coming up about it all.

• You and your partner are at a crossroads with how to parent, how to do life or merely how to load the dishwasher. You are hoping for both tools and deeper insight-based awareness around what's getting in the way of being able to move forward and upward in your relationship.
