About Me

If you are seeking a strengths based, solution focused therapist who believes we all have an inherent ability to heal, you've come to the right place. We will work together to address the difficult and traumatic life events that may be blocking your healing, impacting your relationships and getting in the way of goal achievement. We will identify your strengths in order to fulfill the goals you came to therapy to achieve, while also addressing the barriers that are in the way of your healing. My approach is direct while also being collaborative, warm and supportive. I combine that with significant experience in a number of evidence based approaches (including hypnotherapy, mindfulness meditation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy) and training to help clients move toward healing, life satisfaction, happiness and goal achievement.
