Life gets complicated real fast, especially when we are going through periods of change, growing up, or filled with stress/anxiety. Whether you are a young person growing up in a turbulent environment or someone struggling with your depression, when navigating your mental health it is important to feel supported. Over the course of my life, I have found support personally and given support to many in my professional career. I have worked specifically in child behavioral health, with school systems, and complex family dynamics. If you would like to learn more about my therapy practice, please reach out for a quick chat!
Modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment-Based Family Therapy Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Trauma, Family Dynamics
As a therapist, I hold deep value in everyone's story and seek to build understanding with my clients that help them navigate their own path forward. We cannot do it alone, nor do we have to. You can count on me to find creative, nontraditional ways to engage and build mutual trust with you since I believe relationships are the basis of change.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in combination with a person-centered narrative approach. What this means is that I will focus in on exploring your thoughts and emotions while building a better understanding for the influences of the environment that you live in. I believe that everyone has a story to tell and my role as therapist is to help you navigate yours to see long-standing change.
