I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 yrs of experience. If you are looking for a safe place to help you figure things out, to explore thoughts and emotions that can lead to an improved sense of control over one's life, whether its depression, anxiety, life transitions/stressors, work family or relationship issues...I got you! Together we can explore new ways to process difficult emotions, set boundaries, increase self-awareness and self-confidence.
I've been described as a big sister or cool aunt...just with a few fancy letters after my name! With a more laid back approach, I find that clients are more open and receptive to the process., viewing their therapy like a typical conversation which allows them to feel more comfortable.
My approach is tailored to each client. Life is hard and talking to someone about it can be even harder...I get that! Let's talk and see how I can support you through your healing, to help you overcome life's challenges and discover your own strengths.

In my practice I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. First we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience, identify and challange negative thinking patterns, and to help you develop healthier perspectives and coping strageties.
