“When we are no longer able to change a situation – we are challenged to change ourselves.”  -Viktor Frankl

It is my goal as a clinician to create a safe and welcoming space to promote personal growth and establish a trusting, supportive, and collaborative relationship with clients from all walks of life. I have experience working with clients of all life-stages and use a combination of therapeutic approaches to aid my clients in addressing issues such as Addiction, Anxiety, Communication, Trauma, Relationship Conflicts and more.

I offer an individualized and person-centered approach to therapy with the understanding that each individual or couple has a unique history that has shaped them into who they are in the present. By utilizing person-centered and solution-focused approaches, and integrating evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), I hope to provide my clients with the opportunity to identify areas where they need help, so we can then begin to work together and create positive, lasting change that is representative of who they are or who they want to be in the present moment.
