I enjoy working with people who are striving to rise from a place of brokenness; those who need help seeing their innate value and worth.

Whether it is depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, infidelity, self-hatred, or fear that is stopping you; if you are willing to be vulnerable, then you can experience change. The goal being a new or improved vision for a new and improved you.

As a psychotherapist, I believe that each of us holds the capacity to utilize our personal creativity to resolve life's challenges. I seek to assist the folks I work with to find their strengths.

Upon the initial therapy session, we will work together to determine the most beneficial modality for you, your family, or your child.
