Are you finding your anxiety or anger to be more difficult to manage? Is life becoming more stressful? Knowing where to begin can be overwhelming, and I'm here to help. I'm passionate bout working with individuals experiencing anxiety, anger or substance abuse issues. I have experience working in a variety of settings ranging from higher level of care, private practice to schools, to court-ordered treatment. My clinical focus is working with adults by using a strength-based approach, and strategies rooting in CBT, DBT and solutions-focused therapy. I believe therapy is a way to foster an individuals innate understanding of themselves, and I take a direct, humorous, empathetic approach to encourage growth.

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

During our first session, my clients can expect to have a conversation where we begin with a brief introduction to therapy and then explore what you hope to get from therapy. I often take a flexible open-ended conversations that allows you to express your thoughts and feelings naturally.
