Experiencing depression, anxiety, substance abuse or other intense emotional issues can interfere with your ability to be present and enjoy your daily life. Are you looking for a place to share and process your thoughts and feelings without feeling judged? Would you like to make some changes to address negative moods or behaviors? It is possible and you don't have to do it alone.
I am an experienced Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist offering compassionate and practical therapy services for adults and adolescents. I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, self harming behaviors in teens and adults, chronic suicidal thoughts, and trauma related issues.
In every session I use a multi-faceted approach based on what fits you best. You are the director of your treatment. Your goals will guide what we do together in session. The collaboration between a client and therapist is a great foundation for treatment success. Call me or send me an email. I am looking forward to connecting with you.

I frequently work with clients who are struggling with depression and self harming or suicidal thought and behaviors. If these issues are identified in the initial assessment, we will work closely to develop a safety plan that is agreed upon by the client, supports and therapist. From there, we will develop a plan to move towards meeting your mood and behavioral goals.
