Let's do this together. Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or experiencing a flood of emotions? Throughout my experience, I have learned how to be reflective, curious, and emphatic. Sometimes we just need to be heard and validated. I provide a safe non-judgmental space for clients where they can express and be their true selves. I am supportive and believe everyone has inner strengths. My experience as a therapist has taught me that we are resilient and have inner undiscovered coping skills that have gone unseen. I am eclectic and explore childhood experiences that tend to follow us through adulthood.

Emotional pain, discomfort, and general dissatisfaction are the greatest motivators for change and generally are what lead people to seek psychotherapy. My primary goal is to help you implement change for improved emotional and relationship health. I strive to help people uncover what is “not working” in their lives and provide them with tools that will assist them in working through difficult situations. My therapeutic style is relatable and down-to-earth, and I believe an excellent client-therapist relationship is a key to the therapeutic process.
