Great to meet you!

I am a doctoral level licensed mental health counselor with over 12 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, addiction issues and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have felt lost and wanted to better understand themselves.

My approach to therapy

My counseling style is non-judgmental, warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I believe meeting you where you are at is important. My approach combines a sense of humor with cognitive-behavioral, client centered, motivational interviewing, and solution focused techniques. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

What you can expect from me

I will meet you where you are at and validate your experience. I also want to leave you with something actionable. Such as coping skills like deep breathing and ways of challenging negative thoughts. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, If you not see a time on my schedule that works for you please reach out to me. I am here to support and empower you.


I look forward to meeting you!
