Sometimes you may feel stuck, have trouble understanding your emotions, or need some help sorting out your thoughts, but the good news is you do not have to do it alone. Mental health affects every part of your life, and I am here to provide a safe, empathetic, and judgement-free space to explore and express what you are experiencing. It is important to talk about your feelings and experiences, and by examining them together, we can address any concerns regarding anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or negative thoughts, to name a few. We can then work on building coping skills to help you deal with life’s stressors.

My extensive experience working with adolescents and adults of all ages has underscored to me the need to hear what the person believes has sent them to seek therapy, how they attempt to deal with it, and how it has impacted them and their lives. This is done by my using active listening skills, and paying attention to where the client is in their search for help.. By doing so, I am able to explore and further discuss what is identified as the presenting problem. I also inform the client that therapy is a place to discuss thoughts and feelings.

I love to work with people of diverse backgrounds experiencing challenges in their everyday lives, regardless of whether it is a situational concern or a historical diagnosis. I specialized in working with those seeking help with depression, anxiety, relationships, trauma, and any other challenges they may face. I also have a passion for working with couples and incorporating sex therapy, as well as working with the LGBTQ+ community and polyamorous relationships. I am Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) certified to work with family members to support their loved ones experiencing substance abuse challenges.
