I treat clients that have general mental health issues. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who need help with depression, anxiety, career, anger, and loss. I partner with attorneys and the court system to perform assessments for legal proceedings. I work with personal injury attorneys, family attorneys, and criminal attorneys.

My primary focus is working with clients who want to create healthier relationships and have more fulfilling connections. This can be for couples, families or individuals. Issues related to family of origin, friendships, intimate relationships, and relationships within families are often addressed in sessions.

In therapy I believe it is my role to be with clients on their journey of self discovery and acceptance and to build a healthy client-therapist relationship that they can take out into the world and use to build strong connections with others.

This is always the hard part, finding a counselor that feels right for you, and the initial discomfort in meeting them for the first time. I will endeavor to make this part as seamless as possible while striving to see the world through your eyes. We often have the idea that if we don't solve our problems alone we have somehow failed. I believe that we can thrive when we are able to discuss our problems with someone we trust. My hope is that I can provide a space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns. You've come this far, all that's left is to take those first few, difficult steps.
