Hi. I’ve been working as a therapist starting in 2008 and licensed in 2013. Although every case is different, in general I don’t believe clients have to be in therapy forever. Research shows that change happens in the first few sessions. So I like to set up sessions of 8 and see how it goes. If you meet your goals and can graduate early? Great. If you need a few more sessions after the 8, that’s ok too. But I think having a framework really helps. I like asking for feedback at the end of each session to ensure I’m tailoring sessions around what you are needing. My specializations are the following: ADHD, Anxiety, Depression (mild), Infertility, Mindfulness, Parenting, Post partum depression and Anxiety and Stress Management.

In my down time, I’m a songwriter, and play piano and guitar. I like to meditate and do gentle yoga. These are some tools that at times come up in session. I have a lot of interests so I tend to connect to clients easily. Im a huge soccer fan so have really been enjoying this World Cup.

I like to understand why clients are coming to therapy. Why are they taking time out of their busy lives to do this? So I want to make sure it’s a good experience and hopefully I can help and guide them closer to their goals or what they want to get out of their sessions.
