Great to meet you!

I’m a compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor with a widely varied experience in diverse areas of mental health services. Client-centered services that prioritize warmth and inclusivity while maintaining a solution-focused approach well defines my practice.

My approach to therapy

I provide an integrated, existential perspective that draws on evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, prolonged exposure, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness practice.

What you can expect from me

Deciding to enter therapy takes courage and resolve to face uncomfortable feelings and difficult life events. I offer a safe space to explore new directions and hopefully reduce distress. I can be directive and offer interventions early on or go more slowly to build resiliency and trust before suggesting new changes. You will be in charge and we will walk together toward better wellness.
