Whether you are navigating loss, relationship challenges, life transitions, or personal healing, I strive to create a supportive space where you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to move forward. I am deeply committed to helping individuals feel empowered to live meaningful and fulfilling lives. Through fostering self-awareness and providing values-based guidance, I support clients in making intentional, informed choices that cultivate clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
I practice as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist with an emphasis on mindfulness-based interventions. I am trained in and utilize techniques from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance/Commitment therapy (ACT), and Trauma Focused CBT, and Behavior Modification. I am a Certified Retirement Coach.
I pride myself in offering a calm, judgment free counseling experience. My clients say I am easy to talk with yet ask the hard and challenging questions to get them thinking about ways to approach their problems differently. I look forward to helping you find the best of you!

My primary model of treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT helps you understand how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences, often resulting in distorted thinking patterns. In our first session we will explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you address and hopefully, resolve those issues.
