Therapy is weird. I get it. You are sharing your secrets with a stranger. The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important aspect of therapy. I have worked with single mothers, couples, families, children/teenagers, and the LGBT community. Working since 2007, there is not much I have not seen. I treat my clients like I would want my family members to be treated, with respect, compassion, sincerity and honesty. I also believe therapy can be fun as well as constructive and valuable.

Today you are one step closer to making changes in your life that will lead to new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. If you are seeking therapy for your child or yourself, we can help. We strive to provide an atmosphere of acceptance and hope in a safe, inclusive environment so that our clients can speak freely about any issue or concern.

We use a strength based, integrative approach and draw from a range of methods to address issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, shame, work stress, relationships and family conflict.

Beginning my career in 2012 has allowed me to build on a unique approach that includes providing empathy, genuineness, trust, and creating a safe space. My expertise includes working with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, substance use, LGBTQIA+ issues, trauma, crisis management, self-esteem, relationship issues, and family systems. Through the use of Person-Centered Approach, CBT, IFS, Play Therapy, and Trauma-focused therapy, I am here to help you find the balance you need.
