I want my clients to know that they are not alone in their struggles. Human individuality often conflicts with our social desires, specifically when we need support. Adverse experiences and external influences can prompt us to retreat inward for perceived safety, yet healing is often found through healthy interpersonal connections. In isolation, our negative thoughts are unchecked and can spiral out of control. I am here to help my clients navigate their experiences, combat negative thoughts, find meaning, and alleviate the discomfort caused by isolation, shame, guilt, sadness, anger, confusion, and fear.
I have professional experience working in the mental health and substance abuse fields. I also have a 15-year background in the guest services/hospitality industry. This experience has enhanced my ability to listen to people, provide a safe environment for self-disclosure, identify their goals, and help them discover viable solutions to their problems.
I firmly agree with the Rogerian principles of genuineness, accurate empathy, and unconditional positive regard. I treat my clients with dignity and the utmost respect. I know how difficult it can be to seek mental health treatment, and I honor your courage to take that step.

I strive to utilize evidence-based treatments tailored to your personality, communication style, and the specific challenges you are facing. For example, CBT helps you understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as how your experiences influence them. Existentialism incorporates freedom, meaning-making, and accountability.
