Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a doctorate providing services for wellness and health promotion, improving relationships, decreasing depression and anxiety, and teaming up to remove or lessen roadblocks that stop you from becoming your highest self. My goal is to build connection, helping one feel validated and understood.

My approach to therapy

I mainly use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a form of treatment because I believe thoughts create feelings which then guide actions, and if one can challenge their thoughts, one can challenge their whole world view.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we mainly see if we are a good fit for each other. I assess your stressors and coping strategies and provide homework to increase skill building. My hope is that we can figure out your expectations, goals, and that you leave feeling hopeful!
