Great to meet you!

I have a passion for people: helping them get well and be whole. As your therapist, my goal is to partner with you in your journey to recovery and wellness, help provide insight, brainstorm to troubleshoot issues, and collaborate to identify solutions in a supportive, non-judgmental way. Then we prepare a plan of action by developing strategies that work for you to be successful in your goals. I am person-centered and focused on meeting you where you are.

My approach to therapy

Therapy is a partnership. Your experiences, goals, strengths, and voice matter. We'll navigate the work together with compassion, curiosity, and respect for where you are and where you want to go. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, perinatal, addiction, and military

What you can expect from me

Our relationship will begin with a conversation about what's bringing you in. We'll talk about expectations, review informed consent, and then complete a biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment. We'll discuss your goals and collaborate to find the best strategy, ending the initial session by answering any question you have and then selecting the best day and time for your schedule.
