“I am dedicated to making therapy not just effective but genuinely engaging. My goal is for you to leave the session having felt challenged, like you accomplished something. I have over 20 years of experience in psychotherapy and I firmly believe that even when you feel hopeless and have tried everything, there’s always a path forward, and that you will find it. I maintain passion for my work and strive to integrate humor, honesty and a hopeful heart as part of the therapeutic process.”

She strives to combine a deep understanding of these evidence-based approaches with a creative and energetic spirit to help you feel better as quickly as possible.
