Great to meet you!

I came to the mental health field after my own transformative experience with a therapist at a young age. I have 27 years of experience as a therapist, and I am still amazed at how resilient and resourceful people are. The desire to be loved and happy drive so much of our human experience and I am motivated to help people achieve peace, fulfillment, meaning, and happiness.

My approach to therapy

Taking a client-centered approach, I work with you to change the beliefs you have about yourself so that you can feel happier and create the life you want.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to feel better after one session because I start with what is most important to you at our first session. I collect personal history as it is relevant to your current day functioning.
