My goal is to help clients move through different phases of their lives with happiness, confidence, and useful tools that help them work through life’s challenges. By providing a person-centered approach, I strive to create a safe, open environment where clients can feel supported and heard. I have experience working with a variety of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use, trauma, and personality disorders. Everyone deserves to be their best self and I am committed to helping you make positive, healthy changes in your life.
I use a personalized blend of proven therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care to create a unique treatment plan that fits your needs.
Clients can feel safe sharing their concerns as we navigate their struggles together. Take a look at our practice website and reach out with any questions. A live person will gladly walk you through our counseling process.
