When I was a defiant and moody adolescent, my parents sought therapy for me. The therapy room was place in which I felt understood. I was able to learn great insight into how I think and understanding others' perspectives. It was through that experience that I was inspired to create an environment for others that was both validating and encouraging. I try to establish a therapeutic relationship that enables each person to make progress with their goals, whether it be their self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, managing challenging emotions, or getting through an especially challenging life event.

I am a psychotherapist with experience working with clients across the lifespan who have experienced a variety of issues and concerns. I enjoy working with each of my clients to establish a personal therapeutic relationship that they find helpful for them. I believe that the needs of each of my clients are distinct and what one person may experience as helpful may not be helpful to another. I strive to encourage a therapeutic relationship that is client directed and consider the experience of psychotherapy as a vehicle being driven by each unique client.

I specialize in working with adults- both individuals and couples, ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. I really enjoy partnering with people who have a strong desire to work on themselves, seeking to understand and overcome emotional pain and past traumas.

Deciding to venture into therapy is never an easy decision so it's important to note the strength it took to make it this far. I believe the goal of any type of therapy is to make the uncomfortable comfortable. My goal is to help you navigate the difficult emotions, intrusive thoughts, and impulsive behavior through a behavioral based approach.

As a clinician, I have experience working with clients of all ages in both individual and group sessions. I help my clients in building their self-esteem, developing healthy coping skills, addressing experiences of trauma, working through distress related to life transitions, improving communication, and setting appropriate boundaries within relationships.

While it may have affected us all differently, the past two years have been like no other. They may have left you wishing for someone to talk to, or a quiet space of support. They also may have given you the time to reflect and recognize the changes you'd like to see in your life or the challenges from your past that you would like to face. In these times, it can be difficult to begin the process of healing, coping and processing, while trying to regain whatever sense of normalcy we can. It is my goal to aid and support you as you go through this journey, as I get to know you and the unique factors which bring you to counseling.
