In my practice you will find that I listen in order to focus on helping you find your inner strength to overcome hardships and lead a healthier, happier life. As a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and caring individual, I have worked with diverse populations in both residential and outpatient settings, specializing in dual diagnoses, such as anxiety, ADD/ADHD, OCD, substance use, and at-risk individuals.

I have gained experience in my ten plus years working with youth, adults, and families in and around the public school system, substance use inpatient, and treatment facilities. Overall, I bring my diverse experience to each session with my dedication to helping individuals find the power to change their lives and maintain balance and peace.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, focusing on addressing specific needs, setting goals, and monitoring progress with compassion and care. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches and techniques that compliment the morals, values and beliefs held by clients, their partner/s, their children, and/or their family. I integrate a variety of modalities including, but not limited to, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and person-centered therapy.

My focus in counseling with individuals is through mutual respect and understanding in a nonjudgemental and compassionate way. My approach to family counseling is focusing on relationships, roles, and interaction patterns rather than treating one person as “the problem.” My goal is to develop a positive, judgment-free, supportive therapeutic relationship, as well as create a safe environment for clients to share comfortably and begin the healing process. Our sessions are a conduit to meet short and long term goals to more peace and balance. And together, we’ll work toward personal growth and a healthier version of you.

It takes courage to sign up for therapy, and I applaud you for taking the first step!
