My website

Throughout my career as a therapist, I have worked with individuals, families, and couples to navigate through difficult times. With compassion and understanding, I work to create a warm and safe environment so that each individual can build upon their strengths in order to attain the personal growth that they are committed to accomplishing in their lives. In a collaborative environment, support and practical feedback will be offered that effectively addresses personal life challenges. I incorporate complimentary techniques to offer a tailored approach that is personalized to each client.

I have provided services in various settings including schools, virtually, and a private office environment. I have worked extensively with individuals and families struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and ADHD/ADD.

I would love to assist you or your family members in identifying various patterns that may be affecting overall functioning. While working to develop skills to create lasting change and aiding to develop a stronger sense of self.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

I often pull from multiple theories in my practice. In our initial sessions together, as we get to know each other and understand what brought you to therapy, we can decide the most appropriate way for your specific progress. Therapy approaches are not one size fits all, let's create a custom approach for your individual needs.
