Hello, I'm acccepting new clients! I am a compassionate and dedicated clinician with over a decade of experience helping families, children, adults and teens navigate life’s challenges, cope with trauma, and discover their inner resilience. My goal is to make therapy a supportive, engaging, & transformative experience for you. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, & supported. I provide client-centered care using evidence-based approaches tailored to your individual needs, including CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, Play Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, & Restorative Group Therapy.

By tailoring interventions to your unique needs and encouraging collaboration, we work together to set meaningful goals, explore challenges, and build practical strategies for growth. I focus on making each session interactive, empowering you to gain insight, engaging you in discovery, developing coping skills, and strengthening your resilience.

I strive to create a warm, interactive, and accepting environment in therapy. My goal is to help you explore your strengths, overcome obstacles, and build a stronger, more empowered version of yourself. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful growth and lasting change.

I work with clients who may be struggling with life stressors or who are coping with a mental illness. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most clients see improvement of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
