I believe therapy is a safe place to begin your own personal journey and learning to be present in your life. It allows you to rediscover who you are. I do not believe that people are defined by one experience. Rather, I believe that every individual and their experiences are unique.My hope for my clients is to have a healthy fulfilling life by providing a strength based approach empowering them to make the best choices for their own lives. The goal is to hold a space for clients enabling them to name and set goals, develop skills, build on strengths, and focus on living the life you have wanted to live.
I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups by using integration of existential, holistic and evidence based approach. I often use Gottman methods when working with couples. I specialize in trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, life transitions and depression.
I focus the therapeutic experience on the premise that there is no prescription for therapy. I do not believe people are defined by a single experience. Rather, I believe that every individual and their experiences are unique.
