“How we relate to whatever we're experiencing is even more important than the experience itself " -Bruce Tift

I believe we all have a natural impulse towards evolution and health. Through training and discipline we can greatly accelerate this process.

Survival strategies needed in childhood, arising from our intelligence, are no longer appropriate and can cause unnecessary suffering. These outdated approaches are primarily unconscious. I provide a safe non judgmental space to get to know your patterns with an attitude of kindness. This awareness can give you the freedom to choose the direction you want instead of being driven by historical conditioning.

I believe that you deserve to be your happiest, healthiest, and most empowered self.

I work primarily with teens, young adults, parents, and adults navigating life transitions and complex family dynamics - especially around anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, trauma, and changes like divorce or blended families. I know these experiences can feel messy and heavy, and my goal is to help you make sense of what’s going on while finding a path forward that actually feels manageable.

I especially enjoy working with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I tend to connect well with teens who might be more guarded or unsure about therapy. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start.

Above all, I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, truly understood, and supported as you move toward meaningful change.
