My Approach to Evidence-Based Therapy


“Everything depends on inner change; when this has taken place, then, and only then does the world change.”

– Martin Buber

Everyone needs a little help sometimes to navigate life’s challenges. We all face difficulties that can overwhelm and isolate us.

That’s why I approach my therapy sessions with warmth, humor, and a straightforward approach tailored to each individual’s unique needs. With a background in wealth and investment management and a masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I focus on helping individuals understand the impact of money and financial issues on their mental health, relationships, and careers.

My purpose is to empower you from within to bring the change and relief you seek.

Together, we collaborate to determine your goals and identify the best techniques and tools to resolve the damaging patterns of unhealthy thoughts, behaviors, and false stories we often tell ourselves.

Together, we will work to resolve conflicts, heal wounds, and restore balance in your everyday life.
