Currently accepting new clients! Difficult situations, changes, or events in our lives can leave us confused, scared, and speechless. I want to commend you for taking the first step in the therapeutic process! My priority is creating a nonjudgmental environment where trust is developed and you feel safe with me—every single session and interaction. Therapy is a collaborative process between the two of us. I’m here to listen, support you, and give you opportunities to explore and design a plan that helps you move your life forward.
I love working with clients of all ages but specialize in 14+. When you’re working with me, we’ll use a strengths-based, collaborative approach to help identify your unmet needs and areas of growth. I am trauma-informed and trauma-responsive. I specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, PTSD, and self-esteem.
Your thoughts and feelings can be overwhelming. I’ve been there, and I’m here to help you map out where you want to be and move forward in productive ways. I promise to show up for you week after week as we develop how you show up for yourself.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Strengths Based during my session. Together we will explore what is best for you and decide what is most appropriate to to help you make progress in throughout therapy. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings.
