Great to meet you!

I bring my strong passion and devotion to every therapy session. My wide variety of experiences across disciplines and populations has helped me to develop a well-rounded clinical approach to treatment. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families and populations including, but not limited to: Autism, life transitions, depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, trauma, crisis management, as well as men’s and women’s issues.

My approach to therapy

I work under a cognitive behavioral, strengths-based, solutioned-focused approach to therapy where a client can better identify negative/irrational thoughts while gaining some tools to assist with the “right now” concerns and further working towards resolving deeper issues. I focus on creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere during sessions where clients can freely express themselves without the fear of judgement or disapproval.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to help clients work through their struggles and transform themselves into stronger, more self-aware people who can confidently achieve their goals while overcoming mental health symptoms. I believe in treating my clients as people experiencing difficulties who are never measured by their problems. I pride myself in giving my clients mental health tools and strategies to help them live a mindful and positive life.
