My Approach to Helping

I believe healing happens through genuine, compassionate interactions with others, a deeper understanding and empathy for oneself, and examination of harmful patterns of thought and behavior. Healing and growth come out of an honest and genuine connection in a safe environment. When these things are present, you are able to explore more deeply the things that hold you back from living the life you want.

I use an eclectic approach, however, my work is informed by the emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and family systems schools of thought. I believe strongly that listening more carefully to our emotions and intuition gives us important informatiom. In therapy, we will work to tap into those sources of information more fully.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

Working with survivors of sexual assault and/or abuse is a passion of mine. I feel so blessed and honored to be a part of someone's path towards healing. Additionally, I feel confident in my work with couples addressing conflict.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I love watching people who are dealing with real pain and distress begin to come out on the other side of it. It is so inspiring to watch someone come back to themselves.
