Life can be very challenging at times and we all could use some support along the way. I have experience working with children, teens and adults from diverse backgrounds, with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, ADHD, and life transitions. I view therapy as the process of developing a better understanding of thoughts, emotions and patterns. Since every situation is unique, I use a variety of approaches and techniques based on the needs of each individual.

Every client is different, I work hard to establish individualized plans of care. My approach is client-centered, as I am of the belief that all people have the capacity to help themselves. When working with a couple, my approach is to assist in helping to identify patterns of communication and behavior that couples are typically not conscious of and are generally unproductive in a relationship. This begins with my view that regardless of what is going on, both individuals are contributing towards how things currently are. If both individuals are motivated towards improving the relationship, success is guaranteed.

Our sessions are a safe place to unleash your anxiety, stress, or depression. I connect with my clients easily and take an active role in moving you forward in life-changing ways.

Stress and insecurities can keep you from living your best life. Despite being hardworking, helpful, and outgoing, life continues to knock you down.

Reaching out to a therapist can feel overwhelming and incredibly vulnerable - I’ve been there too. I remember the anxiety and self-doubt in asking for help.

You don’t have to do it alone, I would be honored and humbled to join you.
