Let's build on your strengths to meet your therapy goals. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy, and I take a strengths-based approach toward my work with clients. I have worked with diverse populations of all ages, which has given me the experience to provide evidence-based treatments that are tailored to the individual.

I treat depression and anxiety, with a focus on the ways that both can negatively impact work, home and relationships. I assist clients in developing awareness and tools that decrease these symptoms and increase functioning in daily living.
I also specialize in trauma-focused therapy, helping those who have experienced painful life events move forward living healthier, happier lives.
