Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

--Leonard Cohen from “Anthem”

About me:

Becoming a therapist is a mid-life career change, one that I have chosen due to life experiences that have allowed me a unique view to be truly empathetic to a variety of challenging situations.  I look forward to walking beside you on your journey.  

Therapeutic approach:

As the strength of the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect for change, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and understood.  Person-centered theory is the foundation for all I do, but I often use interventions from Solution-Focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness, among others.
