My passion involves working with individuals struggling with addiction, co-occurring disorders, trauma, and a variety of other issues. Building a strong rapport and meeting my clients where they are in their mental health journey is one of the foundations of my practice and I believe harm reduction can be a goal for many struggling with a diagnosis. Together, we will work on a treatment plan that is tailored to your issues, needs and goals. Being a Gold Star Daughter inspired me to work in veteran, and Gold Star family communities for 25 years. Teaching Pre K for 9 years was incredibly rewarding.
I offer a variety of therapy modalities to fit your individual needs, ranging from CBT, talk therapy to MBCT, and combining modalities. You are the expert regarding your past and present life, your experiences and how they have played a part in your mental health. It is vital that we work as a team to create the best possible approach for your therapy goals.
My belief is that my background and experiences have not only inspired me to work in the mental health field but have also taught me empathy and advocacy for those who are struggling their mental health. I believe that it is "ok to not be ok", but it is also vital to have the right therapist when and if you decide that therapy is for you.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my sessions. We will explore what led you to therapy and decide together what strategies will help you make progress. With CBT, we will delve into recognizing distortions in thinking that are creating problems, then reevaluate them in the light of reality, gaining a better understanding of behavior patterns and motivation of others.
