Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

I believe that we all have innate ability to navigate through life’s challenges and complexities. The ability can be hidden or inaccessible due to life experiences, whether they be current or rooted in the past. My goal is to help clients tap into their own grace and strength to create a new meaning and present day experience that is fulfilling to the individual. There is no one way that works for all. I will dive into the messy, uncomfortable and crowded places with my clients to help them find their strength, wisdom and resolution.
I am particularly adept at helping my clients build a strong foundation of autonomy. I utilize various therapeutic approaches to reach and retain this achievement including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy and a family systems approach.
