Whether it be anxiety/depression, unprocessed trauma, medical issues/illness, divorce, or chemical dependency just to name a few. Allow me to help you address the emotional challenges that may be causing you a variety of symptoms -- frustration, sadness, decreased motivation or anger -- as this is often how the issues we are struggling with surface in our lives. Helping you discover and understand the root cause of your issues is the goal to help you live a more empowered and fulfilling life. I've worked in various clinical settings from psychiatric hospitals, to county jail. My approach is truly collaborative, I utilize CBT, EMDR, motivational interviewing, etc. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a Registered Nurse for over 15yrs. I understand the interplay between our mental and physical health, and how one effects the other. Let’s work together to address the challenges in your life. Finding a therapist that fits your needs is essential, if I am not the therapist for you, I'll help you find one who is.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session we will discuss your needs and reason for seeking therapy. Everyone is individual and there is no “one size fits all” type of therapy. We will develop a treatment plan that addresses your needs, with an approach you can relate to.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I see individual's, couples and families struggling with a myriad of issues from anxiety, depression, trauma and marital discord, to name a few. My strength as a provider is my compassion for those struggling with issues and my ability to make clients comfortable to express their feelings in a safe space.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I often use CBT in the form of reframing a negative thought, in order to look at an experience or idea from a different perspective.
