So you're struggling with your mood. You notice that it's getting harder to do simple tasks, there's an endless stream of racing thoughts, and you're unable to find happiness. Some days you just want to switch your brain off and disappear. You can't figure out why things feel so difficult, why you constantly need to be busy, or how you're supposed to manage. Or maybe you're in a difficult relationship and need help finding ways to communicate your needs. Perhaps you've always wanted help but are intimidated by the traditional models you've seen in the media. This is where I step in.
I'm consistently nominated as a contender for best counselor in the region and a community favorite winner. I specialize in teens and early adults and my breadth of experience allows me to skillfully tailor treatment to your specific needs. I have inpatient hospital, partial hospital, outpatient clinic, and private practice experience.
I make therapy relatable and approachable. I am well-known in the community as a direct, authentic and sociable therapist. My approach is effective because I work under the idea that therapy doesn't have to be stiff and clinical. If you want a real person with real experience, I can help you. No intimidation, just empathy and understanding. We can do this.

I have a multifaceted approach to addressing your mood concerns. In our first sessions, I learn who you are, how your brain works, and what you come from.

I pull mostly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior therapy, but I do not use a one-size-fits-all model. I am notorious for "telling it like it is"; I will challenge your distorted thoughts with real-life data and examples while ensuring that you feel safe and heard. My goal is for you to walk out of our session feeling validated and motivated for change.
