Great to meet you!

I'm a seasoned clinician with over 20 years of experience in providing services to individuals affected by mental health and behavioral challenges. I've worked with children, adults and families to address areas that have impacted their daily functioning. I've treated individuals that have presented or were diagnosed with depression, anxiety, adjustment and mood disorders. Too, I've provided consultation in areas related to child welfare, family & criminal court as well as community organizations. I take pride in helping individuals & families reach their goals, learn new skills and ways of communication.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should feel like a safe and supportive space where you can show up as your true self. Whether I’m working with children, adults, or families, my goal is to meet you where you are, help you make sense of what you’re feeling, and give you practical tools for growth. Together, we explore challenges, strengthen communication, and build healthier ways of coping so you can create meaningful and lasting change in your life.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, my priority is to create a comfortable and welcoming space where you can feel safe to share your story. Some time is spent in getting to know each other, talking about what brought you to therapy, and discussing your goals. Questions are asked to better understand your experiences, strengths, and challenges. There is no pressure, you can share at your own pace. Together, we start to build a plan that feels right for you, focusing on immediate concerns, learning coping strategies, or working toward long-term change.
