Great to meet you!

Hi there! I use therapy to help adults reconnect themselves to their own innate drive to heal

I have a wide range of experience that encompasses counseling to running a counseling program. I've completed advance training in numerous counseling theories and am a CBT trainer at a behavioral health clinic. This experience allows me to adapt evidence based interventions to fit your personality and treatment goals. But that is not why you will get better in therapy; that is due to your own innate drive to heal.

My approach to therapy

Everyone has an innate drive to heal. That is why we are the expert on our own lives and why we know what is best for ourselves. We become disconnected due to stressors, pressures and everything else this life can do. We reconnect in therapy when there is a strong collaborative therapeutic relationship. One that is built on trust, respect, transparency and empathy. My approach to ensure this, and all that clinical stuff, is present in every session.

What you can expect from me

A relaxed atmosphere that is focused on what brought you to therapy and how I can best help you. I really want to understand who you are. Not just your history or areas of concern but your strengths, passions and values. At the end, we will work together to create your goals for therapy.
