As a mental health counselor, I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is both welcoming and encouraging for all clients. Often times, individuals may feel hesitant about beginning therapy, however, my approach to therapy provides each client with an individualized treatment plan in accordance with their preferred pace, as well as establishing a secure and trusting environment. I am passionate in sharing my knowledge within the field, as well as providing the tools necessary for my clients to achieve their therapeutic goals through a collaborative and personalized relationship.

I believe deeply in the power of the therapeutic process. Resolving challenges and life events that have become difficult to manage is the space in which I will meet you, and together, you will collaboratively work towards setting attainable goals while processing and gaining insight into better managing circumstances outside of your control.

You’re here because some emotional issue is holding you back from your best life. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma and even reached out for help from people you respect; but they’ve been either too busy with their own issues, critical or worse failed to listen? That can make your situation even more frustrating and lead to feeling unimportant, invisible, and even unworthy of love and belonging. No one deserves to feel devalued. I know this is more than a platitude because everyone I have ever worked with has so much value; just often untapped or unrecognized.

My focus is on helping my clients gain the self-knowledge and self-awareness necessary to move forward to a more comfortable and productive place. No one approach fits every person or situation and the therapeutic process always begins with the person sitting in the room. My style is always respectful, interactive and dynamic and I am passionate about my work. The art and science of the therapeutic process encourages my creativity and spontaneity and complex issues are dealt with one step at a time, from both inner and outer perspectives.
