My goal throughout treatment is to work for and with you, to empower you, and to be an active listener when it feels like everything is against you. I have worked with teens in schools, treatment centers, and private practice to provide understanding support, and care during many individuals’ hardest, human experiences. Through the use of cognitive behavioral techniques, I have seen clients increase their self-esteem, increase functionality, and decrease their sadness and anxiety.

I am passionate about helping individuals live to their utmost potential. With an open-hearted, non-judgmental, and empathetic approach, I strive to create a safe space for exploration and growth. Drawing on a wealth of experience, I approach therapy with a holistic perspective, recognizing that each person's journey is unique. My goal is to help clients navigate challenges, develop self-awareness, and cultivate meaningful connections. Through collaborative and evidence-based, client-centered techniques, I aim to facilitate positive change and lasting transformation.

My therapy approach is to build a relationship with my clients. My clients can trust me to share difficult emotions, feel safe enough to talk about things they are struggling with and feel comfortable enough to know that I will not judge anything they do bring to therapy. While earning my education granted me the opportunity to become “book smart,” I have also found that my life experiences have played a significant role in why I enjoy my life and career to the extent to which I do. In addition to my current position at a local mental health facility, I have been in the social services/mental health field for quite some time.

Making the decision to come to therapy is the first step to beginning your personal journey. As your therapist, I am passionate about assisting you in addressing your needs and in overcoming the barriers you face. I love integrating different interventions to meet your needs best. I believe in tailoring each session to each person regardless if you are struggling through a new life transition, working through painful experiences, or attempting to regain your life back from symptoms of depression and anxiety. My hope is that our sessions together will bring insight, stability, and peace within your relationships and life.
