In my experience, all of us will ultimately experience problems that seem to overwhelm our normal abilities to cope. Life is hard and we need outlets to process those difficult times. I’ve worked with a variety of clients that have experienced anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, codependency, PTSD, substance abuse/addiction, anger management, marital/relationship issues, grief and loss, trauma & abuse, stress management and OCD. I primarily use a solution focused approach, focusing on your goals, and helping you grow through increasing awareness and insight into your concerns. I utilize components of different styles of therapy including CBT, solution focused, mindfulness and other techniques as well.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In the first session, we will complete an intake together. An intake basically goes over your history, presenting concerns and basically get to know each other! My goal is to know more fully who you are, not just the issues that may have brought you to therapy. This is an opportunity for you to make sure that I am a good fit for you as well!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My strengths are my ability to connect, empathy, kindness and non-judgmental approach. In my approach, we take a deeper dive into your experience, thoughts, beliefs, feelings, expectations and views of the world. We examine your perspectives, goals and motivations in order to help you work though life's most difficult times.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I've been working in the therapy field for over 20 years. During my career I have worked in many settings providing both group and individual therapy. My primary specialty is relationship issues. If you are struggling in any of your personal or professional relationships, I can help! I also specialize in anxiety, depression, substance abuse and spiritual counseling. My relationship with you is perhaps the most important part of therapy. I enjoy watching my clients grow in their own insight and process and I am happy to help guide them along the way.
