Welcome! I’m a therapist who is passionate about helping people overcome life’s challenges and life can have so many! I believe that everyone has the potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life, and I’m here to help you achieve that. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I take a holistic approach to therapy, which means that I consider all aspects of your life when working with you. I will work with you to create a plan for us to help you achieve your goals. I believe in transparency, humor, honesty and being real.
I have a wide and varied approach to therapy gained over 25 years in human services. My approach to counseling is grounded in empathy, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping clients achieve their goals. I take a holistic approach to treatment that addresses the underlying causes of emotional issues while also providing practical tools and strategies.
I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, trauma-informed, and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. Among other modalities, I am trained in ACT, an evidence-based therapy that has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma.
