Searching for a therapist can be an overwhelming and daunting process, especially if you have never received therapy services before. Sometimes the hardest part is reaching out to make that first contact to ask for help. Frequently, we convince ourselves we can hold on a little longer. Life can be very challenging; We all need support to navigate, learn and grow at times. Possibly you have tried therapy in the past and had a negative experience. Meeting a new therapist is similar to meeting anyone- there will be some you feel comfortable with and some you will not. We each offer our own unique perspective and personality.
Therapy should be a collaborative process in which the client feels understood, supported and safe. I believe fostering a positive therapeutic relationship where the client feels unconditionally accepted for who they are is fundamental to successful treatment. I specialize in working with individuals in healing from trauma, mood and anxiety disorders.
I provide a complimentary 15 min phone consultation to determine if we would be a good match. Please feel comfortable to reach out to me to book your complimentary consultation today!

I have a history of working with children and families who are in the foster care system, gangs and/or who are part of the juvenile justice system. I also completed Rape Crisis training in 2013. This has provided me with exposure to working with clients with a variety of trauma, mood and attachment disorders.

I integrate an eclectic approach to best meet the client and their goals for treatment: For example, I provide the warmth of Person Centered Therapy. I assist clients in looking past the symptoms to reach the core beliefs of CBT. I help clients examine the subconscious mind and challenge their defenses in Psychodynamic Therapy.
