Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with adolescents, ages 16 and up as well as adults and families. I see clients who are dealing with a multitude of issues and who are from various backgrounds. I strive to create an environment of comfort and acceptance where you or your loved one can feel safe talking about difficult issues. I specialize in working with issues related to life transitions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, abuse/neglect, ADHD and stress management.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I draw from a variety of theories and incorporate different psychotherapy techniques to suit each individual and to help them achieve the changes which they desire. In each case, I provide empathy, patience, and a gentle push when needed. EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is offered as a service.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect for me to create a safe, confidential space where we work together to tailor therapy to your needs.
