About me
I want to inspire you to be the best you can be. Life is full of challenges and your perspective on how you face them can make the difference in your ability to meet your full potential. I want to help you identify your challenges and find solutions so that you can set and achieve your goals. I have worked in a variety of settings including child welfare, outpatient mental health clinics, as a ACT Clinician, a Clinician with the IAFF COE, and have had my own private practice. I specialize in working with a variety of mental illnesses and utilize a variety of treatment methods depending on the individual and their needs.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked as a therapist for almost 20 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping patients identify the root cause of your challenges and to create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with people who are going through transitions in their lives and wanting to make changes that will lead them to their full potential.
