Life can throw us curve balls when we least expect it. Having a person to unload your stress and fears with a nonjudgmental perspective can help release the burdens of everyday life. You don't need to fit into a box to benefit from individual therapy, as I believe we all find it to be useful.
I specialize in life transitions, anxiety and depression. I have experience in the public school setting, PreK – 12th grade, as well as individual, group and family therapy experience as a mental health therapist with clients of all ages, needs and disabilities.
I want to offer my clients a safe space to unload their stress and past traumas, while reframing their thought processes in order to leave the session feeling refreshed and ready to face another day.

I mostly work with clients struggling with life transitions, OCD, anxiety and depression, along with other underlying issues. During our time together we will focus on the most pressing issues while making space for everyday frustration. I also like to make sure to leave plenty of space for focusing on the positive aspects of life.
