Great to meet you!

About me

I absolutely love what I do and I view each day as an opportunity to increase in love, peace, joy, and believing that all other increase will naturally follow. I work to increase both others and myself, to our best self.

I have worked with clients from many different cultural/ethnic groups; and with various presenting problems. Including depression, anxiety; bipolar disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Psychosis, suicidal; and well as feelings of self harm and/or others

My approach to therapy

I primarily use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, with a mix of Solution based Therapy, and Person Center Therapy, and many different skills and interventions

What you can expect from me

When working with clients I like to begin to build the client and therapist relationship/rapport right away. Whenever you are ready really live your life, and not simply exist, I will be here waiting for you.
