Are you struggling to manage everyday stressors, having feelings of being overwhelmed, worried or sad? Do your relationships with others feel strained? Do you have feelings of self-doubt? If you're looking for someone to listen without judgement while helping you to learn more about yourself and create positive change, you have found the right person. I am a LCSW with over 15 years experience who is passionate about meeting the needs of individuals and helping others to understand the impact of mental health and trauma on individual behaviors and relationships with others.

I take a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy. I assist others in gaining an awareness and understanding of self and their thoughts and behaviors. By gaining an understanding of self, individuals can begin to reframe negative thinking patterns and change behaviors to improve overall well-being and relationships with others.

I strive to provide a safe, inviting environment that allows individuals to be comfortable in expressing themselves and their needs. I work to listen without judgement while helping you to develop skills to improve your overall well-being and your relationships with others. I look forward to guiding you toward becoming the best version of you!

I typically take a Cognitive Behavioral approach to therapy. During the first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy, expectations of therapy, and treatment goals. As we progress through treatment, you will develop an awareness of your thoughts and how they affect your feelings and behaviors. We will develop skills for reframing thoughts and improving feelings and behaviors.
