I am a client-centered, multi-disciplinary therapist who has been working in the field for over 16 years. My experience allows me to meet a person where they are and provide support and strategies to guide them towards achieving their therapeutic goals. I have extensive experience in working with clients affected by trauma, clients suffering with anxiety and/or depression, and couples therapy. I am accepting new clients (some evening appointments still available at this time) Email only for new client inquiries- please include what insurance carrier you have and your general availability (I cannot accept medicaid insurance).
I specialize in working with adults suffering from depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, grief or parenting issues. In addition, I enjoy working with couples to improve relationship issues and communication. I specialized in trauma therapy during my graduate program and have since worked extensively with clients who suffer with trauma and it’s effects.
Please feel free to contact me via email to discuss your treatment goals and what you hope to gain from therapy. I currently have both daytime and evening appointments available.

My therapeutic style is tailored to my client's needs. I am able to provide solution focused/evidence based treatment for those clients who have specific goals for therapy. However, I am also able to utilize a trauma-centered, psychodynamic approach for clients with more complex cases. In our first session, I will evaluate your individual needs and communicate clearly my anticipated approach.
