I keep therapy pretty down to earth, even though I have a solid theoretical training behind me. I use humor a lot because I genuinely believe that if you're laughing, you're learning. I can help you understand where your struggles come from, and I'll give you real steps you can take to reach your goals.
I'm confident I can help you work through whatever you're dealing with right now.

My approach comes from person-centered therapy, but I also draw from CBT, psychodynamic, and transpersonal methods when they're helpful. I also have specialized training in IMAGO relationship counseling and have extensive experience with dream interpretation and helping clients more fully embrace their spirituality. I work with young adults and adults.
