About me

I realized that we all have something that we want to work on within ourselves. I want to thank you for choosing me to help you on your journey to doing just that. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is dedicated to providing quality psychotherapy for those looking to reinvest in themselves. My clinical areas of specialty include individual/family counseling, addiction, trauma, depression and anxiety. I specialize in treating personality and mood disorders, AD/HD, and co-occurring disorders. I also have extensive experience in career counseling. I enjoy working with adolescents, teens, and adults. I apply cognitive behavioral approach and solution-focused brief therapy; however, I am experienced in several other therapeutic modalities.

I enjoy my sessions every time. I always end the session with motivation and better understanding to take more steps towards my goals. She makes sure I am heard and understood which means a lot.

What initially brought me to her was her smile. It felt warm and inviting and I’m so glad I chose her.
