Great to meet you!

Hi there! I have been working in the behavioral health field since 2016. During this time, I have helped people who struggle with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, relationship turmoil, etc., and together we focus on the whole person. My experiences ranges from teens to older adults, and their families.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a person-centered, strength-based approach to meet my clients where they are at and help them identify what success looks like to them. I believe that providing education assists greatly in paving the way to success, as the more you understand the “why” behind your struggle, the easier it is to develop an action plan to make change. I am straightforward, yet compassionate, and also enjoy use of humor when appropriate.

What you can expect from me

We will work together to create goals that work best for you and your vision. Throughout our sessions I will assist you in navigating emotions and life events that may hinder obtainment of these goals. I believe I create a welcoming atmosphere where my clients feel safe to be their authentic self.
