Why Therapy?
Individuals seek out therapy for many different and valid reasons. Whether the concerns seem big or small, there is generally an underlying want to change one’s life for the better. Change may include addressing problematic feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and/or patterns that leave you feeling stuck or dissatisfied. Or change may involve learning to cope with the unpredictable and often overwhelming challenges that life presents. Making the choice to change or improve your life does not necessarily translate into knowing how to do it.
Therapy can play a pivotal role in providing the nonjudgmental space, the opportunity for self-understanding, and the guidance in developing the strategies and tools that are often needed to make change a reality.

My Approach
For over 20 years, I’ve supported teens and adults in making meaningful changes in their lives. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one that respects each person’s unique needs and goals. My approach is active and adaptable, drawing from both insight-oriented therapy and practical, evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing. Together, we’ll work to build understanding, develop helpful tools, and create lasting change that extends beyond the therapy room and into everyday life.
