Starting therapy is a brave step towards exploring life’s complexities and issues we face. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and trauma issues through a collaborative and client-centered approach, utilizing evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can feel heard and find a space to work on your unique goals.
