I believe in meeting people exactly where they are, not where they think they should be. You don’t need to act, feel, or show up to sessions a certain way. My approach is all about creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, and breathe. Let's explore what’s going on inside to identify goals for improved life satisfaction. We’ll take time to look at your strengths, values, emotions, and life experiences to help you understand how they’ve shaped you, discovering the patterns that might be causing challenges in your life or keeping you stuck.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years' experience in the field, I genuinely enjoy the complexity and variety of therapeutic work. My experience in diverse settings has built a practice where I can successfully help a wide spectrum of clients. My specialized training also includes certification as a CADC.

Helping people and providing therapy is a passion of mine and I look forward to working with anyone seeking help. I offer a safe space free from judgment to work collaboratively in achieving the goals you have for yourself.

Motivational Interviewing
Person-Centered

I often use DBT along with a strengths-based perspective in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and decide on the most appropriate treatment methods for you. We'll look at your strengths to identify the skills and strengths you already possess. During sessions, we will utilize those strengths to identify goals and steps to achieving those goals.
