Great to meet you!

My experience includes working with children, adults, teenagers, couples and families. Some of the populations and issues I have worked with are victims of abuse and assault, depression, anxiety, peripartum and postpartum disorders, adjustment to parenthood (men and women), relationship difficulties, and bipolar disorder. I also have experience working with teenagers in the juvenile justice system, individuals struggling with substance abuse, and children being fostered and/or adopted.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is a person-centered eclectic approach that fosters self-acceptance and empowerment. I frequently use CBT and solution focus techniques when assisting in facilitating healthy change.


Therapy is about you, your freedom and the healing that occurs through self-exploration, understanding, finding meaning, and deepening one's insight.

What you can expect from our first session

My role is to help you begin to think, feel, and understand yourself more deeply, empowering lasting change. I believe each person has the answers inside of them to make the desired changes in their lives that will bring them peace, joy and healing but don't know how to access those answers. We will work together to get the answers you are looking for. I look forward to working with you.
