Great to meet you!

Trust is what is vital to a healthy therapeutic relationship, and I work very hard to build that with my clients. Seeking counseling is one of the most courageous steps towards living your best life and I would like to help you on that journey. I am driven by the desire to help people through their difficult times and the emotional issues they are facing. We will work together to develop an individualized path to help you feel better! I have had the opportunity to work with many different populations and have experiences in various emotional issues: relationship distress, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, addictions, grief, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, military issues, attachment issues, suicidal ideations, self-esteem/ self-confident, coping skills, and many other issues. I have many years experiencing working with individuals, couples, and families. I have extensive experience with our military population by spending over 10 years as a Military & Family Life Counselor working with active duty, National Guard, Reservists, and their families.

My approach to therapy

My counseling style would be described as welcoming, warm and interactive. I believe in treating people with dignity, respect, sensitivity, authenticity and empathy. My approach is holistic and based on evidence based practices. I respect your choice on seeking counseling and I look forward to working with you!

What you can expect from me

I want clients to walk away with a sense of empowerment that they "got this" and that doing this type of work on yourself is the best investment in yourself!
