Are your needs being met? Do you truly understand yourself and why you feel the way you do? Happiness and fulfillment aren’t easy, but they’re possible. To go beyond merely surviving, we must: confront fears, recognize our power, remove what holds us back, and forgive ourselves. As a professionally-trained psychotherapist, I’m dedicated to helping clients find their path to self-awareness and self-love.

I work from a holistic and strength-based perspective in therapy. While therapy and traditional counseling tend to focus on pathology and deficits, I tend to focus on working with individual's already existing strengths to help them move beyond any concerns they may have. In addition, I conduct psychological, legal-medical, and forensic evaluations in my practice. I also contract with Workers Compensation to meet clients needs.

When people are challenged with changes that affect the ability to manage stressors, there comes a time for positive change and support. I am passionate about focusing on the healing process, whether it involves the challenges of exploring maladaptive behaviors or the triggers of trauma. I help my clients, who include children, adults, and families to find healthy coping mechanisms and self-autonomy which will lead to positive perceptions. This, in turn, creates personal identification and self-worth, thus creating healthy relationships. There is not one single approach for each individual, so I have trained in different modalities.
