Great to meet you!

I have been in the field of Mental Health counseling as a therapist since 2011 and have had the privilege of working with a diverse population of clients. I continue to gain insight, knowledge and skills within the field and am passionate about continuing education. I am drawn to understanding human behavior and have pursued this field with great passion. I believe that the therapeutic process is effective in providing self-insight, wisdom, acceptance, knowledge and so much more.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize a client-centered approach to therapy as well as tailoring therapy and corresponding techniques based on a client’s unique personality, desires, and goals for treatment. I have found that utilizing multiple therapeutic approaches allows for individuality within treatment. I typically utilize concepts related to Depth Psychology, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT); Motivational Interviewing (MI); Solution Focused Therapy, and Existential therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe that each individual is unique and an expert on themselves and within the therapeutic relationship each individual is able to reduce suffering, live a more fulfilling life and gain a greater insight into self.
