I believe that therapy is a powerful force in dealing with the emotions and difficulties that arise in daily life.

I use strengths-based interventions to develop a strong therapeutic relationship and assist clients in the process of healing. I have training in the treatment of depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance use/abuse, self-esteem issues, and trauma-related symptoms in adolescents, adults, and veterans .

I transitioned from being an educator to entering the field of psychology. Engaging in therapy offers a safe and supportive environment leading to a journey of healing, self-discovery, and education regarding past and current life challenges.

My therapeutic process provides genuine support, helpful coping skills, and an action plan.

With that being said I have a lot of techniques and modalities that I can pick from from CBT, DBT, mindfulness and trauma based techniques like brainspotting.
