I bring empathy, insight, and clinical skills, to the therapeutic process. I help clients struggling with stress/anxiety, depression, relationship or family issues, life transitions, learning disabilities, career struggles, and grief. I interact with clients in their growth process by increasing awareness of the source of their distress, implementing new ways of thinking to positively affect their experiences and helping them learn healthier coping responses in their life. Seeking therapy is a courageous choice, and I will join you in this endeavor by using an integrative and interactive approach to help you gain insight into your processes and live a more enjoyable life.

Get to know me

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

The first session is focused on building therapeutic alliance and assessment of your therapeutic goals. We will explore your bio/psycho/social history and what has brought you to therapy. We address what you hope to get from your therapy experience. This session helps clarify the direction of the therapy work and best interventions to serve your needs.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I enjoy working with clients who actively engage in the therapeutic process. Through self-reflection and a willingness to change, I assist clients in taking personal responsibility for making choices that lead to mental health wellness goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Most often I work with high functioning clients with everyday life issues/challenges. I provide support to individual adult clients seeking growth around the most common areas: stress management, anxiety, mild depression, the desire to improve relationship and family issues, adjustments to life transitions, ADHD, work/life balance. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy whether you feel that your personal challenges are small, medium, or large. I provide an interactive and collaborative effort throughout the process.
