My practice style is solution focused, strength-based and non-judgemental.

I believe in a person-centered and holistic approach to therapy, honoring your unique background, beliefs, and strengths. My approach pulls from many evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and mindfulness. My aim is to help you be more effective in regulating your emotions, coping with difficult situations, focusing on the moment, and ultimately living the life that you want. I enjoy working with teens and adults who have issues related to anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, substance or behavior addictions, and setting boundaries.

My ideal clients are everyday people in which something has surfaced in their lives, usually from the past, and now is the time for you to deal with it. This surface could be from past trauma, unforgiveness, or simply the need for change. Some struggle with low self-esteem, identity formation, or a lack of trust in establishing relationships. So, surround yourself with folks that fill your cup, and I will assist you in identifying aspects of your life that you would like to change, or better understand. We set goals, roll up our sleeves and work toward desired outcomes. Sessions are 1 hour (individual), or 1 hour/20 min. (couples).

I believe in providing individualized care that works in the best interest of the client. When working with clients I utilize various theoretical techniques and modalities including person-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients reach their goals.

Stress is inevitable, it's how we respond to it that matters. While stress can be a catalyst for spiritual, physical, and emotional growth, it impacts our well-being. During stressful times, it's important to recognize emotional and physical changes. Often, we neglect our internal experiences because of the fear of pain. When we avoid the pain, we essentially shut ourselves off from growth. My goal is to support you through challenging times, allowing you to open fully to the present moment by incorporating compassion-oriented & mindfulness-based strategies to withstand the suffering and lean into a growth mindset.
