Life is challenging, and sometimes those challenges can feel like too much to overcome alone. I work with individuals, couples and families to explore the obstacles they face to live their best life. I want to help you focus on the strengths you have, find the positivity in your life, and lead you on the path to happiness. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my specialties include Addictions, Eating Disorders, Abuse/ Domestic Violence, Trauma, Codependency, Depression, and Anxiety Disorders. I over 15 years of working with children, adolescents and adults providing individual, couples and family therapy.
As a professional counselor, I am experienced in different treatment methods which I integrate according to each client's unique needs. I have extensive training and experience treating addictions, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, attachment issues, mood disorders and relational conflicts.
I firmly believe in building rapport and developing trust before diving into the core issues. My style of counseling is based on person-centered, solution focused and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral) techniques. My belief is that everyone has the ability to improve their lives, with the first steps being wanting change and having hope.
