Great to meet you!

I am here to provide the support and guidance needed to improve relationships, work towards a healthier and happier you, and ultimately help you live your best life. Currently offering convenient weekend & evening appointments. My experience includes working with children, families and adults, as a therapist, School Social Worker and in the psychiatric emergency department.

A bit about my approach to therapy

If you are looking for a therapist that is easy to talk to, supportive, and will work with you in an interactive style, reach out and give me a call or an email.

What you can expect from our first session

Therapy is a commitment to yourself to strive towards the life you want to live. Building a therapeutic relationship is the foundation of your road to success. Through individual, couples or family counseling, I will help you discover your strengths, identify any roadblocks to a healthier you and help you develop positive coping strategies.
