I work with children, adolescents, and adults utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy and cognitive interpersonal therapy.

YOU CAN BE HAPPY! Everyone experiences tough times at some point in their life and as a result may struggle with being healthy and may exhibit some type of negative behaviors, such as addiction, depression, anxiety, school or employment issues, self-sabotage, withdrawal and avoidance. With gentle guidance in a safe environment, you can find an emotional and mental balance and improve your daily functioning with continued progress and stability. We will work on identifying and changing dysfunctional behaviors and develop effective coping strategies to find harmony and peace in your life.

Are you ready to see mental health and therapy in a new light? Do you wish for a better relationship with yourself and those around you? It is easy to get caught up in the day to day and expectations of today’s world. Taking time to work on yourself, talk it out, and find the best version of yourself is one of the most important things a person can do. Therapy doesn’t have to be hard or scary - and I am here to break down barriers and end the stigma of mental health and therapy!

I truly believe that every person has the ability within themselves to think and feel positively, overcome their struggles, and be comfortable in their own skin. My role as a therapist is to help an individual deepen their understanding of life experiences that may affect emotions, thought patterns, perceptions, and behaviors.

In the counseling relationship, I view myself as a collaborator, advocate, and nurturer.

I do not provide custody evaluations and I am not an expert witness as defined by the legal system.

I commend you for taking the first step in creating a life that you love. So many of us are in the midst of experiencing life challenges that cause us pain. These challenges take many forms – family issues, health concerns, loneliness, financial strain, anxiety about the future…Sometimes, what may be causing us distress are dreams that have gone unfulfilled; life not going as planned. For many of us, we’ve struggled with such questions as, “Am I enough?”, “Who has my back?”, “Will I ever have the life that I want?”
