Are you struggling through an issue and are serious about making significant improvements through hard work? Life sometimes throws us unexpected curveballs that can have an undesirable effect on mood, relationships, employment, and overall health. It is normal to sometimes need a little support to help us navigate through these situations that leave us feeling overwhelmed or helpless, and it is my mission to help you achieve a positive outcome by providing such support. Let's work diligently together and make your goals a reality.
I offer a client-driven, collaborative approach to therapy. I have over 10 years of intensive clinical experience serving individuals with a wide range of issues and circumstances. I have had additional experience as an advocate, educator, consultant, and mentor. Treating trauma is my area of expertise.
Everyone on the planet could use some help through a struggle now and then. I can offer you a non-judgmental and honest environment, an individualized treatment plan, and a personalized approach to meet your unique goals. You are an expert on the topic of you and where you’d like to be. Let me walk alongside you to help you navigate the bumps along the way.

I like to use motivational interviewing and collaboration to discover what your goal hierarchy is. Once goals are identified, an evidence-based approach will be used. I prefer to use methods that have consistent positive results over time backed by peer reviewed studies. Blah, blah, blah. I also use humor and a direct approach. :)
