Great to meet you!

I have experience helping both adults and children/adolescents with a variety of issues including: anxiety, depression, crisis management, forensic, anger management, stress, self-esteem, relationships, and substance abuse. Treatment plans are geared towards each client’s needs and are individualized to take all factors into consideration. I have a straightforward and direct approach, but will always be supportive. I will work with you to understand the heart of an issue by peeling back the layers, to build an increased sense of confidence in navigating life's challenges and healthier thinking patterns.

My approach to therapy

With the use of a variety of treatment modalities, it is important to understand how thoughts and feelings impact behaviors and work on making small changes to make large impacts! I combine various treatment modalities to fit your needs and provide psychoeducation on skills that can help either with emotional regulation or mindfulness techniques.

What you can expect from me

All clients and sessions will vary, but one can expect to gain not only insight, but practical tools that can be applied in different settings or situations. Clients will have a deeper understanding of themselves, repetitive patterns that do not serve them, and a stronger sense of autonomy as they continue to navigate their daily life.
