Welcome! I am genuinely glad that you are here. It isn’t always easy to put your trust and safe keeping of personal feelings and experiences into another, so I am honored to get to know your story. I have had the privilege of working with children, teens and adults from various cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, who have various relational preferences, etc. What I want to convey is that everyone is welcome here! A little about me- I have spent many years working as a school based Mental Health Therapist, so I very familiar with the unique experiences of school educators, administrators, and other supporting staff. I have been involved in Special Education and IEP meetings, and have supported parents and students in this area. Additionally, I continue to dedicate myself to the research and understanding of complex relationships and various attachment styles, and enjoy supporting my clients in those areas. I am also well versed and comfortable in supporting my clients through anxiety, depression and the processing of grief/loss. I would like you to know that I genuinely care about the emotional well-being of my clients, and my hope is that you feel safe and comfortable in sharing with me.
Our first session will give us the opportunity to begin building our therapeutic relationship by introducing ourselves and building a level of comfort, which is so important! You will be invited to share about yourself and discuss your reasons for coming to see me. You may share any thoughts, comments or questions you may have. Together we can create a goal(s) and identify personal hopes for your therapeutic journey.
My goal is to always provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where we may collectively address issues and/or topics of your choosing. I aim to be highly supportive of my clients. I believe we ourselves are the experts of our own lives, and YOU ultimately know what is best for you. My role will be to provide psychoeducation and be your teammate in uncovering underlying factors contributing to emotional difficulties and identifying skills and strategies that work best for you in making progress towards respective goals. My clients often report that they feel safe and supported by me in their therapy journey, which is what I absolutely strive to do!

Narrative is my preferred treatment modality of choice, as it empowers my clients to separate their problems from their sense of self, and empower them in creating their own life story, despite what their unique circumstances have been. Clients may utilize their more positive self-narrative to increase resilience and gain greater control over their lives.
