I have worked in the field of mental health for over 2 decades, both as a clinician and in various leadership roles. One of my greatest passions is reducing the stigma and barriers that inhibit people from reaching out for help when they need it. The truth is, we all need help at some point- all of us. My role is to listen without judgement and provide support, tools and insights so that my clients can process their experience fully and move forward in life. I utilize a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness to improve coping skills leading to greater life satisfaction.

I enjoy working with diverse individuals from all walks of life as my experience has been eclectic.

I am fulfilled by working with LGBTQ+ clients, adults, trauma, OCD, complex anxiety, and clients with past incarcerations. I am passionate about holistic and integrative treatment! I am here to help you build up your skill set to handle life transitions, live a better quality of life and find meaning!

If we can gain understanding of the past and connect the dots between where we began and where we are today, then we can begin to heal and create new effective ways to communicate, build healthy relationships and realize more fulfillment in our lives.

I enjoy and have experience in working with individuals, families and couples across the life span. I have extensive practice with ADHD and parent support utilizing a variety of evidence based practices and psychoeducation and training.
