Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am a licensed therapist with over 6 years of experience in therapy and over 10 years of experience in the mental health field.I specialize in helping clients with anxiety disorders, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, and stress. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

My approach to therapy

I work with my clients by helping them identify and challenge maladaptive beliefs and ways of thinking to decrease anxiety, depression, and symptoms of trauma, as well as learning healthy ways of communication to have more fulfilling and rewarding relationships. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Exposure and Response Prevention, ACT, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy in my practice.

What you can expect from me

I like to create a relaxing and flexible environment, and I tailor my approach to each client's individual needs. I aim to help my clients by clients set attainable goals that we can focus on each session.
