Great to meet you!

I believe we all have innate strengths and abilities which allow us to navigate life's inevitable events. It is my passion and mission to walk along side of you as we discover and enhance your strengths and move past depression, low self-worth, trauma, anxiety, addiction or a combination of weights holding you back. It is my role to provide you with a safe space to share your story and work with you to find the connections between your past, present and your desires for your future.

My approach to therapy

My education, training and practice experience supports my use of an eclectic blend of treatment modalities depending of what is most appropriate for the clients I serve. While some may ease into Narrative or music supported Reminisces Therapy, others may be served best with CBT or Trauma Focused. This will all work out as we find our groove in our first few sessions.

What you can expect from me

A client who wants to explore deeper ways of connecting with themself by gaining tools and insight each session, would enjoy our work together. I would be the right fit for a client who is comfortable with humor, straightforward talk, and homework. Also, I'd be a good fit for anyone who doesn't expect me to look like my profile picture each session.
