Great to meet you!

Whatever your reason for seeking out Psychotherapy, I’m dedicated to helping you find your way to better mental health. Since 2006, I’ve helped individuals face life’s challenges by helping them understand their own emotional patterns and direct them towards making the right choices.

My approach to therapy

s a licensed mental health and addiction counselor, my approach is to meet you where you’re at and work with you to accomplish your goals. I use an integrative trauma informed treatment approach based on my client’s needs. I have training and experience using DBT, CBT, EMDR, client centered therapy, trauma informed therapy, solution focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. My goal is to provide a judgment free environment where you can openly talk about and work though difficult things.

What you can expect from me

With the right tools, you will have a better outlook on issues that life brings your way.
