My theoretical approach is rooted in mindfulness-based cognitive...

I believe healing and growth occur in psychotherapy when you first establish a supportive, collaborative therapeutic relationship.

In therapy, we will work together to help you better understand your behaviors, o...

This time of life can be overwhelming, so full of change and new that sometimes it feels like too much. It can be confusing trying to figure out who you are, what you believe, how to be in relationships with others and even with yourself!

I love to help people navigate this in-between time....
