Therapy does not need to be dark or mysterious. In fact, it can be invigorating and empowering. You and I will create a partnership, which focuses on healing. As a team, we will establish clear goals and immediately begin working to achieve them. My approach is to identify your personal strengths and support you in utilizing these strengths to overcome life's challenges. I believe therapy should be a partnership between you and your Therapist, but with different roles. My role as your Therapist is to meet you on your level, and help you get to the next level.

Embracing a therapeutic philosophy centered on collaboration, I strive to foster an atmosphere of acceptance, compassion, and kindness. Drawing on nearly three decades of diverse experience in social work/mental health care, law enforcement, and psychotherapy, I approach complex issues with a curious and creative touch to examine old patterns of thought and behavior to find straightforward solutions clients can readily incorporate into their lives. I recognize the vital importance of helping clients cultivate a positive perspective, embracing work/life balance, trauma recovery, and maintenance of healthy relationships.
