I believe that working on yourself is the best gift you can give to yourself and those around you. Therapy is not magic, it is work - a true investment. I believe that everyone holds creativity, strength, and answers inside of them. As a therapist I am here to help you unlock them. I am supportive, warm, transparent and authentic. I like to use humor and creativity. You are in control of therapy and we will work together to determine your goals, what pacing is best for you and the real why for being here. For the past 12 years I have been working with individuals and families touched by adoption and complex blended families. I work with kids, teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma and challenges related to their identity. I work with people who have recently discovered family secrets through DNA testing or people looking to reunite with family members. I also help people through life transitions such as going to college, changing jobs or deciding to start a family. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches including art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, family systems therapy and many others. Reaching out for therapy is hard. I’m proud of you for taking the first step. Feel free to reach out today to see if we might be a good fit!
