My practice assists clients seeking mental health therapy to manage symptoms of; Post Traumatic Stress disorder, anxiety, depression, anger management, and grief. My clients seek guidance in processing complicated emotions; sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness. My clients may have a history of legal concerns and difficulty maintaining relationships with family or friends.
I have been practicing as a mental health therapist since the beginning of 2018. I have experience in providing care and support to clientele with a history of feeling isolated, judged and rejected by others. I specialize in working with individuals who have severe mental illness, trauma, and short-term mental health concerns.
I have a warm and authentic connection with my clients. I make an effort to provide supportive genuine care with a nonjudgmental attitude. I am accepting new clientele for telehealth as well as in office at this time and welcome you to connect with me.

I work with clients who may be struggling with negative self-talk, hopelessness, and worthlessness due to trauma incurred through relationships with family, partners or friendships. In the initial session we will explore the current presentation of these issues. We will work together to develop a plan. Many of my clients will see improvement through refocusing and reframing their experiences.

I often use eclectic therapy. During these sessions we explore how thoughts impact emotion and behavior. We work on challenging cognitive distorted thoughts and behaviors. We work on reframing and refocusing thoughts to understand how these thoughts developed and continue to impact us.
