Great to meet you!

I am here to support your drive to thrive! My approach in therapy is empathetic, direct, and focused on helping clients develop insight into how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. I will build on your strengths and empower you to change negative thought patterns and behaviors to improve your well-being. I have over 25 years of experience in this field, and I truly love what I do.

My approach to therapy

I have extensive experience helping adults navigate issues like depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and grief. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other proven methods to help you gain insight into your current situation and create a roadmap for managing your mental health. CBT can help people break out of unhelpful patterns and forge new, more effective paths in life.

What you can expect from me

My solution-focused approach to therapy has been successful in supporting individuals experiencing increased distress that impacts their thinking, feeling and/or behavioral patterns. I am a dedicated professional who enjoys nurturing positive changes that assist individuals desiring compassionate support. I am truly grateful to be doing what I love for a living, and I hope you feel encouraged to reach out to me and connect whenever I can be of support.
