Research has shown that the primary factors involved in change in a therapeutic setting are the clients' internal strengths. The second most important factor is the relationship between the client and the therapist. At the very core, therapy is about a healing relationship. This is what a prospective client should ask regarding a therapist when entering therapy: is it a relationship that is conducive to your growth, whatever your goals?

Hello, I am a therapist with 10 years of experience in helping people overcome their challenges and achieve their goals. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, wellness techniques, and solution-focused therapy, to tailor my treatment to each client's unique needs and preferences. I work with clients who are seeking to improve their mental health, cope with stress, manage emotions, enhance relationships, and increase their well-being and happiness. I believe that everyone has the potential to grow and change.

Whether you're navigating relationships, managing workplace stress, setting boundaries, or pursuing career growth without burnout, I'm here to support you.

Rooted in a safe and empowering space, my approach focuses on self-discovery, resilience-building, and breaking free from hindering patterns. Together, we'll journey towards a balanced life where you thrive.

We are all given a blank sheet in the beginning. What we choose to put on this blank sheet determines our outcome. Through life we are shaped by our surroundings, interactions and family. But not all of us are given the tools to write our own stories. Nature created us, but nurture guides us. As a clinician, I work with my clients to help build their awareness of how their learned subconscious understandings of life have impacted how they engage, interact and understand others.

Today’s world can seem overwhelming and exhausting to many of us. Sometimes, even getting out of bed seems like a chore. Anxiety can feel like it has a vice grip on your life. Imagine if you didn’t have to feel this way. It is possible. I have a history of working with individuals that struggle with addictions, people in the criminal justice system, and those who suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, c-PTSD, eating disorders, mood disorders, the LGBTQIA population, and couples struggling in their relationships. The therapies I offer focus on helping to alleviate the negative symptoms that can come with these battles.

My therapy style is grounded in empathy and connection. I believe the relationship between myself and my clients is the foundation and most important component of our work together. My priority is to create a comfortable, non-judgmental and warm environment for my clients to openly express and explore their thoughts and feelings, while processing past experiences. Through a collaborative approach, my goal is to provide my clients with support and professional guidance as we embark on this journey together. I am committed to helping clients find healing through working together and feeling heard and understood.

I believe that we all have the power to heal from trauma, change negative thinking patterns, and make positive changes in our lives when we feel supported in a safe and nurturing space.

I work with clients of all ages to process trauma and address difficulties in social, work, and relationship functioning. These problems can include depression, anxiety, loss, low self-esteem, emotional/behavioral dysregulation and major life transitions.
