In my practice as a therapist, I serve clients with presenting issues of depression, anxiety, ADHD, communication and relationship issues. In my years of practice, I’ve realized that every client is unique, every person has a story, and everyone has different aspirations and interests.

I specialize in providing research-based treatment to adults with a range of struggles, including trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), substance use disorders, and anxiety disorders. In order to help individuals reach their treatment goals, I use evidence-based interventions and measure progress using brief assessments. Furthermore, I recognize the importance of providing genuine warmth and caring to all clients to promote their own self-compassion, acceptance, and growth. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change” – Carl Rogers.

I work primarily with couples and adult individuals. My experience has led me to individuals who struggle with grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and anger-related issues. I also work with people who suffer from addiction and problems related to their substance use. Apart from working with individuals one-on-one, my time spent working with couples in relationship/marriage counseling has focused on communication, conflict, infidelity, parenting, and intimacy.

I see my role as a therapist as one of transferring fundamental knowledge while cultivating critical thinking skills by applying theory and concepts to current health-, economic, - and industry-related issues. Through this application, areas that are void of knowledge will ultimately emerge. I offer an authentic presence within a collaborative, understanding relationship in which self-discovery can be non-threatening. I believe in practicing rigorously authenticity, surrounding the outcome, and doing uncomfortable work to reach the goals that we all want to achieve in life.

Life is complicated. At times, it can feel like we’re at war with ourselves, lost, or just barely getting by. It’s natural to feel stuck and overwhelmed along the way.

Sometimes we're so close to our own stuff it's hard to know where to start. My approach to therapy is to meet you "where you are" and help you learn what you can control vs. what you can't control. You will learn coping strategies to gain control over your thoughts and behaviors while learning how to let go of what you can't control. Integrating CBT and EMDR methods can help clients resolve unprocessed trauma and promote healing in the body as well as the mind.

Every client is so unique, it would be impossible for me to describe the “ideal client”. I suppose if I was to have to narrow it down, I would prefer a client be open to communicating and be in a place where they are ready to do the things they need to do to accomplish their goals. Most clients come into therapy knowing what they would like, and many know what they need to do to get to where they want, there just seems to be a gap in knowing what needs to be done and making moves.
