YOUR LIFE.

It takes an incredible amount of courage to realize and decide to positively change your life, and even more so to include someone in that intimate journey of fulfillment. Whether it be a small, specific area of your life, or a major change, it is my honor as a therapist to be included in your journey.
​
My therapy style is the humanistic approach to therapy, which provides positive support and objective reflections while the client explores what they want in therapy – YOU are the expert of your life. I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying values we hold dear in our lives and making concrete efforts to work towards those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us understand our thought patterns that may be blocking our path towards positive change, and how to alter them to serve our journey.
