Being a therapist means helping the client help themselves through exploring, growing, and learning. I understand that every individual enters the room with their own set of values, experiences, goals, and strengths. By utilizing a person-centered approach, building a rapport, and fostering a non-judgmental environment, clients will be inspired to explore unprocessed experiences and identify the thoughts and behaviors that are keeping them stuck.

We are all experts of our own lives. Through collaboration, I strive to help my clients identify the coping and problem solving skills that produce the results they want. I also believe that a neutral, non-judgmental, listening ear of someone who cares can make all the difference in achieving goals, feeling greater peace, and living a more authentic life.

My goal is to help clients move through different phases of their lives with happiness, confidence, and useful tools that help them work through life’s challenges. By providing a person-centered approach, I strive to create a safe, open environment where clients can feel supported and heard.

I have experience working with a variety of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use, trauma, and personality disorders. I have also utilized different therapeutic tools including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed care to create a personalized treatment plan for each client. Everyone deserves to be their best self and I am committed to helping you make positive, healthy changes in your life.

Navigating your journey in life comes with inevitable challenges. Sometimes these challenges seem so big that it hinders us from having a full and meaningful life.

My goal is to be your ally and guide you through a journey of everlasting personal growth that is fulfilling and healing.

I am open minded and non-judgmental in order to create a safe space where you can be your true self. Throughout my long and diverse experience working with children, adolescents, and adults providing individual as well as couples and family counseling, I employ a holistic approach during therapy. Developing understanding of and increasing the connection between the mind and body will undoubtedly produce outcomes known to last.

As a therapist, I believe it is important to foster a space where my clients can feel safe, seen, heard, and understood. I meet every person at their current stage of life and through a collaborative effort, help them to create goals, and identify tools and coping strategies that address the challenges they’re experiencing. Understanding the root of a person’s challenges is also imperative in the work that I do because it helps clients to gain insight and view themselves through a less critical lens. When people understand the “why” behind their current behaviors, emotions, and thoughts, they are then able to view themselves with compassion and make the positive changes that they desire.

I believe the most important relationship you can have is the one with yourself. The relationship you have with yourself is the foundation in which everything else relies on. How you view yourself and your capabilities impacts how you show up in the world and how you navigate interpersonal relationships. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel safe, heard and comfortable to unpack the weight that you’ve been carrying. We will explore and develop different coping skills to best help you manage your emotions, feelings of anxiety, depression and everything in between.

Everyone deserves to be the main character of their story. I am here to support and guide you in believing that. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgmental space that allows you to gain deeper insight into your emotions, thoughts, and relationships so you can heal and grow. Through compassion, acceptance, and a little bit of humor, I will join you on this journey to releasing the parts of you that no longer serve you so you can show up authentically you no matter what.

We are all so uniquely designed; shaped by the nuances of our experiences, culture, nature, relationships, beliefs, and values. It’s important that therapy is tailored to each client’s individual needs and preferences. This begins with remaining neutral and ends with acceptance. Therapy can be daunting, and even painful sometimes, especially for those who are trying therapy for the first time. My hope is for clients to feel safe and heard in their sessions, and to learn skills they will carry with them into their lives.

My background has been working with adults struggling with varying symptomology and diagnoses. I use a blend of approaches including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and a trauma informed approach. Therapy is an individual journey to learn about oneself with the benefit of a teammate who can help foster desired outcomes.

My objective is to help clients regain a sense of happiness and balance by implementing creative solutions that go above and beyond simple talk therapy.

With over ten years’ experience in mental health, business, and educational settings, I am skilled at engaging clients with a wide variety of backgrounds and goals. By building a strong therapeutic relationship, clients share their life stories in an open, non-judgmental, and supportive space.
