I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician who believes in providing you with a non-judgmental atmosphere of support on your path to self-acceptance. My professional work has focused on the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, women’s issues, substance abuse, self-esteem issues, maternal mental health and life transitions.
I use a strengths based approach to treatment with psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and holistic practices. It is my goal to approach treatment from a whole health model. Beginning therapy takes courage, and I welcome the opportunity to join you on this journey.
