Choosing whom to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with is a very personal decision.

When a client chooses to work with me, I value the connection we have and that connection serves as the basis for our collaboration.

There are many styles and approaches to therapy. My method is grounded in empathy and specified to your unique needs, preferences, and situations. My style is compassionate, collaborative, active and engaging. I infuse Mindful Self-Compassion and Positive Psychology into the work I do because when we trust ourselves to uncover strengths, we see they are the path to healing.

No one gets out of childhood without a negative core belief that is causing trouble, leading to thoughts of “I don’t matter.” or “I am not good enough.” I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) to help people resolve those negative core beliefs and take the past out of the present.

In addition to being a therapist and coach, I am a funny, compassionate, positive energy source – A wife, friend, sister, daughter, yogi and parent to my therapy support poodle, Aldo.
