Great to meet you!

I am driven by the belief that we are all taught from what we go through, and we can use our strengths and experience to alleviate the suffering of others. My role is to help you uncover your unique strengths, release your pain, and build a clear path forward. You will leave our sessions with both emotional clarity and practical tools to reclaim your life, one person at a time.

My more than 15 years experience includes working in many sectors of inpatient, outpatient, government and corporate.

My approach to therapy

My work is about helping you reclaim your life. I believe the answers you seek are already within you. Together, we'll uncover your strengths, release your pain and create a path forward that is true to you. I will help you build the tools you need to create, meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

In each session, you can expect to gain any or all of the following: a clearer understanding of yourself, customized coping strategies and a plan for change, increased confidence in your own judgment, and the freedom from past burdens that comes from emotional release.
