I am here to focus on the needs of each client and help people feel heard so that each individual can focus on the best version of themselves.

At a very young age I struggled to find someone I could relate to. I wanted to find someone that I could speak to freely and without judgement. I never found that as a young adult. As an adult I saw the need in my own community for mental health and family dynamics. All I have ever wanted to do and dedicated my entire life to is mental health wellbeing and understanding we all have the resources and the will power to overcome adversities.

In the past 11 years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families in a therapeutic partnership. Making the decision to focus on oneself and start working with a therapist can be life-changing and I applaud you for taking the time to focus on yourself. Therapy can be enlightening and help create positive and lasting changes. But it can also be intimidating when starting this process. This is why the therapeutic relationship is so important. As a therapist, it is my goal to work with you to help you unlock your greatness and move past any barriers that are holding you back.

I use several different styles of therapy. First I like to use the Client-Centered approach to meet and get to know the client, create a treatment plan, and goals based on their needs and wants, and build rapport. Secondly, I use the psychodynamic approach to help the client figure out where their unwanted thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are coming from so that we can begin to uncover their origins and get to the heart of the issues. I use Motivational Interviewing to help the client process their thoughts and emotions so they can better understand themselves.

My expertise is informed by more than 10 years in clinical practice as well as over 25 years in Human Service Practice skills. I am very compassionate and value the capacity for individuals to reach their highest desires. When conflicts are experienced in life, they can certainly be immobilizing. It is at this turning point when having a professional "outside voice" that can listen, provide guidance in a non-judgmental setting, and assist with making healthy choices will become an asset to you.
