Great to meet you!

I am an eclectic therapist, meaning I do not subscribe to any one therapeutic modality as I believe the therapeutic process is fluid, and as a clinician, I must be the same. I help you manage depression, anxiety, ADHD, adjustment disorder, grief/loss, PTSD.


. I provide counseling for couples, premarital, married, and partnerships.

My approach to therapy

I use non-traditional therapeutic methods such as music, art, and mindfulness practices; while building the therapeutic relationship. More traditional modalities I work with include, cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, acceptance, and commitment therapy, psychodynamic, and solution focused therapy.

What you can expect from me

To meet my clients where they are, I will take the time needed to examine with you the core issues surrounding the existing problem and assist in developing solutions from that groundwork. I specialize in healing work designed to address trauma and I work at the pace my client can manage. In my work I hold to the idea that the client is the expert in their own story and I work to honor their experience with empathy and curiosity.
