Great to meet you!

I am a passionate, solutions-focused therapist who seeks to look at every client through a holistic lens. I have worked in outpatient and hospital settings along with completing dozens of trainings over the past 8 years which gives me a well rounded host of experiences to pull from. You will always feel empowered in my sessions as I work to help you build off strengths rather than focus on deficits.

My approach to therapy

Every session, I meet my clients where they are at wether there's a specific issue at hand or if my clients are wanting to dig deeper and are looking for me to raise questions and themes I have noticed. Whatever way we spend the session, you can count on walking away with evidence based knowledge and concrete skills to take with you until we meet again.

What you can expect from me

During the first few sessions I will guide you in helping me get to know you, your situation, and what you are looking for out of therapy. Then we will build a treatment plan with specific goals and outcomes so you KNOW your time is worth it!
