I believe what sets me apart from any other therapist you will find is my own personal life experience, my educational background in Philosophy, and my 20 years in public education working with individuals, both young and old, from countless cultures and backgrounds. If you are an individual seeking an authentic, humorous, and open therapist that will partner with you throughout your journey towards optimum mental health and self-actualization, you should give me a call! Those who have struggled with the therapeutic process in the past and seek to break free from the bondage that trauma creates will benefit from my approach.
I specialize in treating conditions that are related to experiencing trauma, including depressive, anxiety, personality, bipolar, and trauma disorders. I also specialize in treating neurodivergent individuals. My approach is eclectic, which means that I draw from many schools of thought and therapy methods to create plans specifically tailored to you.
One of the things that I have learned during my time as a professional so far is that therapy is more about self-discovery than about fixing something broken. This process can be difficult, and it requires a solid therapeutic alliance to work. If a journey towards wellness with an easy-going, direct and authentic partner appeals to you, let's get started.

My approach is eclectic, which means that I draw from a variety of therapy methods and philosophies that I am knowledgeable and proficient in to create a plan that is specifically tailored to you and your experience and background. I mostly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to begin exploring your beliefs about your life experience, and then draw from other methods once we have a plan in place.
