The freedom to grow is central to human happiness and there are many ways that we can stray from our path, cease to grow, and end up in a life that we do not recognize as our own. In my work as a therapist, I seek to assist you to realize and face obstructions to your growth and to further understand the causes of the difficulties that arise. I look for dysfunctional habitual patterns and tendencies and work to bring insight and greater understanding to help you realize the changes you want to make. I bring analysis, humor, a down to earth approach, empathy and existential inquiry. I believe that you are the expert on yourself, and I tailor my work with you to suit your specific needs.
I utilize a range of modalities in my work including existential, humanistic, Gestalt, client-centered, narrative, cognitive behavioral therapy, the Gottman method, and mindfulness-based approaches. I emphasize the importance of self-inquiry to help align one’s values and beliefs with one’s actions in the world. I prioritize your goals and intentions to ensure that you’re getting your needs met through our work together. I encourage ongoing honest feedback from my clients, and I will offer you the same.

“Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.” -Carl Jung
