In therapy sessions with me, my goal is to create a comfortable and safe space for your self -exploration, and growth.

My goal is for clients to understand themselves better and regain confidence, control, and peace in their lives.

We all deserve a place where we can feel safe and supported. Through my practice, I aim to provide a genuine, non-judgmental, and empathic space for you to explore your concerns and work towards your personal goals. I believe that therapy is meant to help people learn more about themselves and their experiences. I work collaboratively with clients to share their thoughts, process their emotions and experiences, develop insight, improve their relationships, and build skills for managing distress.

My primary focus is working with adults, teens, couples, families, and veterans that struggle with, but not limited to, trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship/family issues. It is my experience that clients know themselves better than anyone else and that there is no single approach that is right for every one individual.

I believe that the best therapeutic relationships include trust, respect, authenticity, and shared decision-making.

Life can be challenging for all of us at times. Maybe a new challenge or crisis has arisen, or maybe you want to address a problem you've carried for years. It can be hard, and takes strength, to acknowledge when you're stuck and need help dealing with painful feelings or self-defeating behaviors. I see adults and teens with a range of difficulties and goals, working together to understand and ease sorrow, anxiety, or anger; explore or (re-)discover parts of themselves; address problems in work, school, or relationships; heal from trauma; resolve ongoing battles with their mind or body; and/or live with greater joy and satisfaction.

My theoretical approach is strengths-based and maintains the belief that individuals are the best experts of their own truth. I encourage my clients to communicate their insights on improving their lives while providing empathy, warm approachability, and an open-minded space. I believe that counseling is experiential, and that clients will gain self-awareness and understanding through therapeutic work and practice. My role as a counselor is to provide guidance and support alongside one’s journey of healing and self-discovery.

I view therapy as a collaborate space where it is safe to share life’s difficulties.

My primary areas of expertise include treating mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, as well as working with adjustment disorders and substance use disorders. Therapy is about helping people through situational life stressors or relationship conflicts.

I have a strong enthusiasm for personal growth and self-awareness. Knowing our story and knowing ourselves will assist us in making changes that last.

By providing tools, language, and resources, I want to assist you in facilitating change and empowerment in the face of difficulties. I am available to assist teens, adults, couples, and families.

I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate transitions and struggles in their daily lives.

In my practice, I work with clients from a variety of different backgrounds and adjust my therapeutic approach to fit each person’s particular needs and developmental level.
