I strive to provide the same level of service to my clients as I would expect for myself. I am well versed in my profession and take pride in my work.

In our first session together, here's what you can expect
It is common for the initial session to feel a little awkward. During our first session, we will begin establishing a foundation of trust as we take some time to get to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you to counseling, your personal goals and any concerns you would like to focus on.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I specialize in complex trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, social skills training and behavior management. Through self exploration, I can assist you in understanding not only your root issues but also possible solutions and new skills to move forward. Life experiences shape us and can spill over into adulthood and many areas of life. Therapy can assist with diving deep into issues and and changing a person’s outlook and motivation.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with individuals needing help navigating relationship issues, communication, depression, anxiety, coping, grief and major life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In our sessions, we will explore the root of your struggles, identify unhelpful patterns, and develop practical, empowering tools tailored to your needs. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to support your growth and emotional resilience.
