Great to meet you!

Therapy should be an environment that is easy, warm and inviting. My goal is only to tune in to my client, validate their experiences and empower them to move toward a hopeful and peaceful existence. I attained my MA in Counseling Psychology, completed a 1500 hr practicum followed by a 4000 hr supervised work experience. Since, I have earned certificates in Play Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT and EMDR. I continue to seek out CEUs that will benefit the population I work with- ages 5-65.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is simply attuning, validating and empowering my clients in a non-judgemental and open-minded manner.

What you can expect from me

My goal for clients is to feel lighter and more hopeful after sessions, armed with more reflective skills that help them regulate in a timely manner and move forward toward peace and healing.
