Great to meet you!

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I want to walk alongside you and help to empower you. Together, we find hope.

I am dedicated to the mental health field and have been both a therapist and a clinical supervisor. My areas of knowledge include trauma, depression, grief, anxiety, adjustment disorder, substance abuse, ADHD, self-esteem issues, and life transition difficulties. I work with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families.

My approach to therapy

I use various techniques with the purpose of providing you with quality care and attention. I practice client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, reality therapy, brief and solution-focused therapy.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we'll continue to build our work together over time. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment.

Together, we identify your goals that are important to you. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt your plan at any time to ensure that it is relevant and in line with your needs. I am here to provide you with the support and tools to help you navigate where you want to be.
