Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I've been providing therapy for 18 years to clients addressing different types of issues. I enjoy helping clients gain more insight about underlying issues contributing to their behaviors and becoming empowered to acknowledge and address those issues.

My approach to therapy

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but realistically, my approach is integrative since it includes different and eclectic modalities, including Dialetical Behavior Therapy and Psychodynamic approach since people as well as their experiences are complex and different.

What you can expect from me

Clients often leave sessions with an eagerness to be more inquisitive about their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, history, influences, etc. They feel validated and become more encouraged and empowered as they work through various issues during and outside of sessions.
