I became a therapist because I have always been interested in emotions and their impact on behavior. I am a compassionate listener and aim to be a supportive guide. I pursued a degree in forensic psychology with a minor in addiction studies followed by a master's degree in mental health counseling. I have worked in outpatient clinics, methadone clinics and private practice. I am a compassionate listener and aim to be a supportive guide. My experiences have given me a variety of resources and techniques to utilize throughout sessions. Sessions are unstructured and are focused on supporting you to accomplish your goals. The therapy space is empathetic and nonjudgmental to safely explore thoughts, emotions, behavior and relationships.

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

We all go through struggles in life. Sometimes navigating these struggles alone is overwhelming and help is required. I am here to help you navigate through the struggles and work towards accomplishing your goals. Starting therapy is a brave first step towards making positive changes and living the life you desire.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

The modalities I utilize most often are Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions are catered to fulfill the unique needs of every client.

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

I work with individuals struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, infertility and adjustment disorder/life transitions.
