Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who graduated from Adler University with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I've worked in private practice, community mental health, and outpatient hospital settings to support individuals, couples, and families in navigating the stressors of life.

My approach to therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychoanalytic Therapy are some of the treatment modalities that I utilizes to provide an eclectic approach that meets the individual needs of each client.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment that promotes vulnerability and safety. Clients can expect collaboration when setting treatment goals and most importantly walk away feeling confident in achieving them.
