Great to meet you!

My areas of interests and experience are in: Anxiety, depression, stress reduction and management, relationship issues, overcoming negative thinking patterns, and substance use/co-occurring disorder related issues.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I work from a place of genuine support with honest feedback, using the theoretical approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have found this approach to be highly successful when working many populations.

What you can expect from our first session

It is my hope, that my clients walk away from our sessions feeling empowered, and confident in their decision making. To trust, that within themselves, they have everything they need to overcome any obstacle or life challenge.
