Great to meet you!

The convoluted path of my own journey has allowed me the gift of finding my passion in becoming a licensed therapist. I seek to empower my clients to achieve their best self. I have found that in nearly a decade of experience as a therapist, my specialties include aiding those seeking recovery from abusive relationships, chronic pain/chronic illnesses, anxiety, addiction, depressive disorders, complex trauma, generational trauma and grief and loss.

My approach to therapy

I may be slightly "unconventional" but I take a unique approach with each client that is tailored to their specific needs, while using evidence-based techniques I am well-trained in. So, it could be a cognitive-behavioral approach, mindfulness-based stress reduction, dialectical behavioral therapy, emotion-focused processing, solution-focused or a combination. I focus on healing through empathy, compassion and validation to help clients achieve all of their mental health goals.

What you can expect from me

Expect to be seen, heard and maybe even challenged to become the best version of yourself. Expect to find healing of your heart, mind and soul through our work together to help you feel "whole" again.
