Great to meet you!

I am incredibly fortunate to have my dream job and feel a sense of fulfillment and pride in my work every day. I know for many of us we do not have that opportunity and have numerous challenges that prevent us from feeling fulfillment, happiness or stability, which can cause immense distress that may be due to anxiety, depression, panic, and feeling lost in general among other complex emotions.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Individualized focus and care, where your needs are put first, is what you will find in my practice. Since 2008 I have been privileged to work with individuals and families. I have a specific interest in anxiety, trauma, mood disturbances, & family changes such as divorce or separation. I specialize in working with teens and adults with anxiety and trauma.

What you can expect from our first session

I base my foundation of counseling from a cognitive behavioral & existential approach. Counseling can help give you clarity and help you create realistic, meaningful goals, that lead to happiness and optimism about life overall, you just have to reach out.
