Life can be overwhelming at times due to personal, and existential circumstances. These individual life stressors can leave a person with no time for themselves. Thus, reaching out for help can be a difficult first step.

I have been a therapist for over 15 years. Before opening my own practice, I had the opportunity to work as a supervisor at a busy mental health and substance treatment facility. Wanting to focus on the clients and get back to what I love about providing treatment, I decided to pursue private practice. I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma issues, grief issues, and relationship problems.

It takes a lot of courage to decide to seek help with something that is bothering you or that is a struggle within your life. I find it to be an honor to work alongside my clients in their own journey of healing.

As a therapist, I am client centered with a focus on building a safe and trusting relationship with my clients, aiding in the ability to share their thoughts, feelings and experiences. I provide alternative views, and often times will encourage continued work outside of session.
