I am a licensed therapist with over 12 years of experience in treating adults, teens and couples who are struggling with issues of mental health and addiction. I specialize in ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, partner betrayal and all forms of addiction. I have a warm, person centered style and a strengths-based approach aimed at achieving true happiness and self love. My clients find they greatly increase coping/communication skills, are better able to manage stress, and develop deeper satisfaction with life. I strive to create a safe environment that is free of judgement or shame. I am affirming of all humans and experiences.
I believe that therapy is a vital part of emotional well-being and personal growth. My evidence based practice combines person-centered therapy, DBT/CBT, life coaching, and mindfulness. I operate using a practical, yet warm and relaxed approach to address clients as a whole, and strive to be a catalyst for the development of their true potential.
I see the therapeutic relationship as an equal partnership and collaboration. My goal for each session is for clients feel relaxed, productive and truly heard. My clients tell me that I am down to earth, warm, accepting and easy to talk to. Ultimately, I strive to help others build the tools necessary to lead a happier, healthier and productive life.
