Hello and thank you for taking the time to consider me. I specialize in counseling older children, teenagers, adults and couples. With a background in marriage and family therapy, my counseling style tends to be relationship oriented and solutions-focused. I offer a blend of empathy and support while presenting real-world suggestions for growth and healing. I have found that while all clients want to feel heard and understood, this alone is not enough for therapy to be effective. Together, we can work towards finding realistic solutions to improve your life, relationships, and overall happiness.

While most therapists specialize in general mental health counseling, I am licensed as both a mental health counselor and a marriage and family therapist. This means that I have pursued additional education and training to be able to offer counseling to couples and families, and am well versed in the type of relational issues these populations face. Over the years, I have worked with clients from all different backgrounds and treated many different mental health conditions. The majority of my clients come to me struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, life adjustments, relationship issues, parenting difficulties, and more. Every situation is unique, but I only accept a new client if I believe I can help.

In our first session, my primary goal is to get to know you and ensure you are comfortable with the therapy process itself. I want to give you time to feel fully heard and understood and allow space to answer any questions you might have about what to expect during our time together. I will ask some questions about your background, your current symptoms and what is bringing you into counseling, but will never force you to share more than you are comfortable discussing. By the end of our first session, we should have established some short and long term goals for therapy and have a better idea of what we can work towards accomplishing together.
