I have been a licensed mental health counselor for 6 years and specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults in the areas of anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and major life transitions. I have had experience working in many different settings including outpatient, community and private practice.

I work from a holistic, person-centered approach, equipping my clients to succeed in reaching their goals through an integrated, comprehensive treatment modality, based on stated needs and a collaborative alliance, built on a strong client-counselor relationship.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward wellness! My approach to therapy is to create a supportive, empathetic and collaborative relationship that will meet your counseling goals. I believe in tailoring a treatment plan that fits the needs of each client. This is accomplished by creating short and long term goals and incorporating several therapeutic modalities such as CBT, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and psycho-dynamic techniques to facilitate growth and wellness.

Life is full of unexpected challenges and choosing to engage in therapy can be the first step toward a new beginning. I am committed to providing a safe, warm, supportive and healing environment.

I help individuals who have experienced trauma reclaim their lives. Trauma can take many forms whether it be: witnessing/experiencing domestic violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, community violence or tragic loss of a loved one- to name a few. For many, the end result is flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation, irritability, low-self-esteem and feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you. My clients have seen and been through some serious stuff. Despite being determined, caring and hard-working, they feel like they cannot get back to life before what happened- well happened.

I am extremely passionate about working with teens and young adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, difficult life change. I work with clients to help guide them in figuring out their personal life goals and how to reach them, while navigating all of life’s challenges thrown at them, that may seem like roadblocks.

I help individuals with depression reclaim their joy. Many of my clients struggle like you do. Despite being intelligent, independent, and hard-working, life can be hard. When they first come in, many clients feel lost, confused, and unsure if their struggles are real or imagined. They doubt themselves, and resent their inability to change parts of themselves they dislike. They stumble their way through life, questioning every step. They beat themselves up for their failures and inability to succeed as other do. Their symptoms of hopelessness, lack of motivation, and fear of failure gets in the way of the life they want in many ways
