Great to meet you!

"I am a caring and empathetic therapist. I have experience with adults, adolescents, and older children. I have over 20 year’s experience working in the field. I am an excellent listener and offer a solution focused approach to working with my client’s. I also have experience working with couple’s and families. I have a background in addiction and helping families with addiction problems."

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have a client centered approach and focus on the need’s of a client. Some people need a place to vent and express themselves. Where other’s may need help managing their thoughts and feelings. I use cognitive behavioral methods, DBT, and supportive therapy. I suggest relaxation techniques and ways to help decrease anxiety and stress through mindfulness meditation, grounding techniques etc.

What you can expect from our first session

“I want my clients to feel seen and heard and to explore ways of coping and managing stress as well as finding solutions to their problems”
