Great to meet you!

I am a therapist with a client-centered, strength-based approach, valuing the uniqueness of every individual. With 20 years in social work, I am deeply committed to non-judgmental care. I am Christian with a degree in world religions which enhances my ability to engage in meaningful, spiritually informed conversations with clients. My career has spanned in diverse mental health settings, including state hospitals, prisons, acute medical centers, and community mental health centers.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I specialize in empowering clients to address addictions, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and other challenges using evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Compassion Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

Taking the first step toward therapy is a brave choice. If you do, I am dedicated to helping you build the skills and confidence needed to overcome challenges and improve your mental health and quality of life.
