I love working with adolescents, adults, and families because I get the chance to help foster change. I believe the best approach to therapy is to use a variety of treatment modalities to think outside of the box. I use creative approaches as well as encouraging self reflection as a way to meet a client where they are. Together we will build a trusting relationship, patience and will work towards positive growth. I believe individuals should feel empowered to express their feelings in a safe and positive environment and be the best version of themselves.

As a therapist, my primary focus is to help adults who are grappling with depression, anxiety, shame, grief & loss, substance use recovery, and emotional trauma. These challenges can be immensely difficult to face alone, and my goal is to offer you a supportive and healing space. We will work together to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself through the cultivation of self awareness, self acceptance, and taking back control of your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I want to help you gain a deep understanding that you have permission to be YOU.​
