Your story is important to me and this process, and my desire is to help walk through your hurts, hangups, habits or healing, together with compassion and grace. Whether you are dealing with anxiety or depression, seeking healing from trauma, hoping to work through grief with support, or seeking healthy communication or coping skills, these are all areas that a therapist can provide help. I believe connection helps to discover peace and truth in the uncertain or unknown, and my therapy style can help you work through your issues that you've faced.
My experience working with women, adolescents, individuals and couples has spanned over two decades. I primarily focus on depression and anxiety, and can offer a safe, compassionate space for you to engage in therapy to seek healing, hope and restoration with what you are facing. Your story is important, your journey is relevant and your healing matters.
I encourage you to reach out if you are hoping to find a therapist who is willing to listen, seeks to understand, and can provide tools and resources to assist you with what you are dealing with. Hope and healing are possible and can be reached with time and therapy. Your story matters and you are important.

I work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, post-partum and relational conflict, who are seeking coping skills, or needing to deal with issues. I offer a non-judgmental safe space for you to seek hope and healing and will meet you where you are at. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In our first session, we will explore what brought you into therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to work through thoughts, behaviors, beliefs and find healthy ways to cope and begin feeling better.
