I enjoy working with patients that want to move beyond the cookie cutter structure of many types of therapies in order to increase insight, improve adaptive coping, increasing holistic health, and are motivated for change.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a doctoral degree in counseling psychology and a doctoral degree in Forensic Psychology. I have been licensed for nineteen years. My theoretical orientation is CBT, however, I also use some humanistic theory and solution focused theory. I work primarily with depression, anxiety, ptsd and trauma. I believe that it is important for you to feel completely comfortable with the person you choose for therapy because if you do not feel safe to share and be transparent, it can hinder and limit your ability to really address the issues that bring you to therapy.

Welcome! I am so glad you made it here. There are many roadblocks to receiving support and I am here to help make the journey less scary. Reaching out for help is no little feat. Many people fear (for very good reason) that they will receive poor treatment and/or judgement by a therapist. You deserve a safe therapeutic relationship where you can show up as yourself without concern of being judged by your therapist. If we are a good fit and I become your therapist, I will offer you a safe, nurturing connection where you can feel safe to express yourself, process your pain, challenge and heal parts of yourself.
