I believe one of the most important pieces of effective therapy is finding a therapist you connect with and you can trust.  Let me share a little about me, how I work with my clients, and my beliefs about the therapy process. 

 

One of the most beautiful things about humans is our capacity for resilience.  Even when life's problems sometimes feel so persistent and complicated that attempting to solve them seems like a lost cause, I believe that even the most daunting problems and overwhelming pain can be resolved with curiosity, attention, skill, and care.

 

I think great therapy should be collaborative, dynamic, and fun.  While it’s essential to make space to process the hurt, sadness, and difficulties that life inevitably brings, I also think a therapist should help their clients discover a deeper understanding of themselves, as well as enhance their strengths and instill hope. We will start wherever you are and work together to create a better life for you and your relationships.

I love working with both individuals and couples and chose to pursue education in marriage and family therapy because humans do not exist in isolation.  We are hardwired for connection.  We want to feel like we belong.  We want to be accepted and loved for who we are, especially in the relationships that matter to us most.  The more we can navigate those relationships – including the one we have with ourselves – the more equipped we are to flourish.
