Great to meet you!

Greetings! You're journey to a healthy new you starts here!


I am a seasoned therapist, with a background of working with many different populations including adults, adolescents, blended families, couples, and both professional and personal experience working with first responders. I am also trained in the trauma based approach ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), which is specifically designed to work with those struggling with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and Phobias.

My approach to therapy

I pride myself on being an easily relatable, eclectic therapist, who tailors each client's treatment approach to fit their individual needs. I specialize in working with high risk adolescents, co-parenting for parents pre, during, and post divorce, and first reponders/spouses/children/families.

What you can expect from me

I feel that it is important to set ongoing goals to focus on during the course of therapy, as well as outside of the actual therapy environment, that are realistic and attainable. Seeing and feeling success during the therapeutic journey increases the motivation to continue movement forward to long term accomplishments in the future.
