Great to meet you!

I am a client-centered, multi-disciplinary therapist who has been working in the field for over 15 years. My experience allows me to meet a person where they are, and provide support and strategies to guide them to achieving their therapeutic goals.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with adults suffering from depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, grief or parenting issues. In addition, I enjoy working with couples to improve relationship issues and communication. I utilize several theraputic approaches depending on a client's needs and preferences. Some of the modalities I am perficient in is CBT, trauma-focused CBT, psychodynamic therapy, NMT, holistic theory, and solution-focused therapy.

What you can expect from me

I believe the therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is critical to the success of the therapy itself. With that in mind, I pride myself in my ability to create a safe environment for my clients to explore and process their thoughts and feelings. I believe in an active role as a therapist, providing guidance, support and strategies from the start.
