Great to meet you!

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking the first step! I’ve been in the mental health field for over 25 years working with individuals struggling with various conditions including depression and anxiety.

My approach to therapy

Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. We will act as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and you feel respected in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen, guide and support you along the way.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing while also feeling safe and secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality.
