Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and balance in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest things to do, so congratulations on taking this important step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, and my main focus is clients aged 25-95 who are struggling with anxiety, depression and PTSD.

My approach to therapy

Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized person-centered approach to care. Once we decide to work together, we’ll act as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and you feel respected and safe in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together on developing your treatment plan where you will decide which goals are important to you. My goal is to create a welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure and supported. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
