Sometimes when life brings challenges, we may need a little extra support and clarity. At times we may feel confused, alone, or not know which direction our life is heading. Growth and healing occur not only through insight into past patterns and issues, but in using that insight to make long-lasting concrete changes in the present and moving forward.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I have been working in the field for 11 years with individuals and in group settings. I have worked primarily in private practice settings, as well as in residential care.

I currently see teens and adults online in a virtual setting. I specialize in seeing individuals with substance use and addiction struggles, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, anger management, stress management, and issues within relationships and coping with loss.

My approach to therapy is tailored to meet each individuals needs. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Positive Psychology. I also pull from other theories depending on client needs.

My ability to guide my clients on their journey will empower them to live the lifestyle they truly desire. I believe every person has an innate desire and ability to reach their potential and achieve their goals.

You will always be met with warmth, empathy, respect, and an open mind. During our first session, I will gather as much information as I can about you, what you are struggling with, and what you want to achieve from therapy.

We will set goals together, and I will work collaboratively with you in helping you achieve your goals.

You should leave each session feeling a little bit better than you did when you came in. You will gain new insights and identify ways to challenge any unhealthy and unproductive thoughts that may exist.
