Great to meet you!

Welcome! I keep it real around here. Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about things that tend to cause people pain and I've also learned what helps make things better. I am not a “nod and smile” or a "oh how does that make you feel" therapist, together we develop real strategies to provide you relief and renewed hope. Every person is unique and it is my job to assist you through a therapeutic process of transforming pain and other emotional distress into calmness, strength, and positive change.

My approach to therapy

Sometimes in life we find that certain parts of ourselves need a little extra support as we bravely take a look at what is holding us back and impeding our personal growth. I know that journey, I have been there before. I want to join you in this journey and help you feel more integrated with the many aspects of you that make you feel whole. I have extensive experience with individual, adolescent, and family counseling with training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Trauma Informed Treatment.

What you can expect from me

I seek to help clients work towards awareness, increase insight, and experience positive change. My goal is to support individuals through the challenges of their lives. I see my role as one instilling hope and building up strengths and resources already inherent in you. During your first session I will provide you honest and authentic feedback and suggestions as we come up with strategies and solutions to improve your situation.
