I've been passionately working in the mental health field for over 8 years, continuously enhancing my skillset to ensure I am providing the most individualized, effective care for people like you. I like to think of the therapist/client roles as those of a coach and a player. I teach and provide the appropriate plays and it is up to the client to carry out those plays to the best of their ability, eliciting client empowerment and confidence.

I have expertise in diagnosing and treating a broad range of syndromes found in adults, children and adolescents.
Most clients begin therapy after having engaged in their own soul-searching and independent efforts to change.They may be nervous about starting treatment, but they generally have a high level of motivation and a willingness to accept responsibility for making positive changes. My clients prefer their therapist to be quite active and, when necessary, quite willing to point out inconsistencies and unhealthy tendencies.

I work with children through adults but primarily specialize in working with teens.
My ideal client is someone who wants to learn to love their true, authentic self. I refer to this as “finding your fire”; I want to empower you to set boundaries in your relationships, to find your inner strength, to establish a strong sense of self-esteem, and to discover what it is in life that brings your heart joy. Working to uncover and connect with your true self can foster positive relationships and success in many areas of life. I feel confidence is the core foundation to working on anxiety, depression, and various other concerns.

I have been working as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for almost 30 years. I began my career doing play therapy with young children. While I loved that, I discovered that there is so much more to be explored in therapy when working with a variety of age groups. Over the years I have worked with many different ages and populations and I feel as though I’ve learned from my clients as much as they have learned from me. I believe that the connection that you have with your therapist is the first step to meeting any goal. While I often take a direct approach with my clients, I also tell them, “my goals can’t be your goals."
