My goal as a therapist is to help you reach a deeper understanding of your struggles and to help create awareness in your life. My belief is once these strengths are recognized and practiced, we can begin working towards our greater potential and begin the healing process or better management of our daily life. I believe people are resilient and have the capacity to heal, if we choose to. I teach practical skills and provide tools that you, you and your partner, child(ren), and family can use every day.

I believe that all individuals have the resources within themselves to heal and thrive, but sometimes they may need a bit of help bringing those resources out. By drawing upon your unique characteristics, I will work with you to gain a greater awareness of yourself, refine your strengths, and become the best version of yourself. While my overarching approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and solution-focused, I draw from a range of different modalities, tailoring to the specific needs and personality of each individual.

Ever ask yourself, "I need someone to talk to." "I need to make changes." Have you endured trauma, feel depressed, or suffer from anxiety? Finding the support you need is NOT impossible. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” people but encouraging a space for self-care. I welcome my clients to show up as they are, as I do the same. I provide a nonjudgmental and empowering atmosphere. My goal as a therapist is to provide a warm, safe and collaborative environment. Clients can navigate and overcome all of their life’s challenges. I have 15 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children.

The decision to begin psychotherapy takes courage and commitment. I work with individuals and couples, creating a safe environment for problem-solving, healing and growth. I believe there are discernible reasons for the pain people feel and the problem behaviors we sometimes exhibit, and that understanding those reasons is an important step in reducing painful symptoms and self-defeating behaviors, and in feeling better.
