As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer an integrative therapeutic approach customized to suit the needs of each individual client. I have experience working with clients from various backgrounds dealing with many issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, divorce, childhood trauma and abuse, personality disorders, relationship issues and phase of life problems. It is my mission to help people heal pains of the past, learn new ways to view problems and acquire skills to create healthier, more peaceful lives.

I believe meaningful change occurs when client and psychotherapist co-create a space that invites curiosity, empathy, and introspection. To transform psychic pain, we often have to look inward at our ways of thinking, feeling, and relating (to both self and others). I strive to facilitate this process in the context of a warm therapeutic relationship where those with whom I’m working feel safe and empowered. Through empathic listening, skilled interpretation, and embodied attunement to the "here and now" interactive process, I can help you resolve debilitating symptoms and impart greater meaning to your experiences / relationships.

Do you struggle with developing a deeper connection with others or self, due to anxiety, depression, or trauma?

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Board Certified-Telemental Health Provider with over fourteen years experience in mental health and substance use disorders. The initial session will consist of a detailed interview and assessment. My approach to therapy is to meet you, the client, where you are at the time. Together we will collaborate to devise a treatment plan based on your primary presenting problem and any secondary problems. All treatment plans are individualized to fit your particular goals for a more fulfilling life. Assessment is ongoing and goals of treatment may change.

We are focused on Clients that are focused and motivated to get better, and are willing to put forth the effort to do so.

Many clients I see come in after suffering significantly from riding the highs and lows of intense emotional ups and downs and are in search of learning new coping skills, or strengthening existing ones. Some of these folks suffer from self-harming behaviors, suicidality, addiction, eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, or anxiety and depression. The common thread among them, however, is the desire to not only more skillfully regulate their emotions, but to ultimately build a life that they want to live, not just one that they simply are trying to endure.
