Great to meet you!

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, and chronic illness. I focus on using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Strength-Based approach in sessions.

A bit about my approach to therapy

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important relationships we create. I believe that all individuals can effect change in their lives. I believe individuals have the answers within themselves and sometimes need guidance to overcome life’s challenges and obstacles. My role as a therapist is to empower you and help guide you become the fullest and most authentic version of yourself. I strive to help individuals heal and grow.

What you can expect from our first session

I am passionate about helping individuals achieve optimum mental, physical and emotional health. I strive to create a safe space where you can express yourself freely without fear of judgment. "We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails." -Dolly Parton
