Great to meet you!

I have been engaged in the human services field since 2001 beginning in a wilderness therapy program for adolescents who struggled with addiction and emotional wellness. Since that time, I have worked in a variety of settings including outpatient programs offering individual, group, and family counseling along with a supportive housing program supporting individuals to live safely in the community while maintaining emotional stability. I am passionate about collaborating with my clients working towards solution focused outcomes based on their individual goals for growth and improvement. I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples, families, and seniors treating a multitude of conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma, addiction, and personality disorders.

My approach to therapy

I strive to offer a collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgemental space where clients feel heard and empowered. I tailor my methods to each individual's needs, drawing from evidenced-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, somatic experiences, and psychodynamic insights, depending on what's most effective for the client. I offer ecotherapy as well utilizing the benefits of nature as part of the healing process.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a welcoming and nonjudgemental space where we'll start to get to know each other. I'll as some questions to better understand what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any important background that might help us work together effectively.

It's also a chance for you to ask me questions to ensure this will be the right fit. My priority is to create a foundation of trust so we can build a meaningful therapeutic relationship together.
