Great to meet you!

I have been practicing as a licensed therapist for 10 years and specialize in helping people reclaim their lives by healing from the pain of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am trained as a clinical mental health counselor with additional specializations in play therapy and trauma focused work. I work with all populations from preteen into adulthood.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and integrative meaning that I utilize therapy approaches that best met your needs. I generally utilize techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and solution focused approaches. I believe that you are the expert on you. While I will always share my clinical perspective and expertise with you, ultimately, we will approach your care as it fits your needs and preferences.

What you can expect from me

In our work together, we will also dig into understanding the root causes to your current challenges, and then we will set realistic goals for your journey. On that journey, we will focus on building your skills and personal strength to reach your goals while healing your spirit to restore peace and balance in your life.
