Great to meet you!

I have over 9 years of experience working with children ages 11 and up, specializing in an array of mental health concerns. I am also a US Air Force veteran with a unique perspective understanding the needs of men and women of our armed forces.

My approach to therapy

I typically work weekly with clients using, but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior therapies. I use warmth and humor to build therapeutic environments for the client to feel comfortable in. I'm passionate about helping clients feel better and make positive changes in their life.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a non judgmental and open-minded environment where during the first session, the client can expect to go at a comfortable pace and share their most pressing concerns first.
