I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in trauma recovery and mood disorders. I provide individual counseling to adults who want to get out of a cycle of uncertainty, make better choices, and understand how they've been affected by things that have happened to them. As part of your overall self-care routine, therapy can be a useful tool for strengthening both coping skills and emotional regulation.

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

Our first session is chance for me to get to know you and identify your needs. We will spend time talking a bit about your history so I can better understand the life experiences that have shaped your thoughts and feelings. One thing you can absolutely expect is a nurturing, non-judgmental therapeutic environment.

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

The main thing I want my clients to know is the there’s nothing wrong with them, something happened to them. I use a client centered approach along with cognitive behavioral techniques to make sure my clients feel valued, nurtured, and build confidence over time.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

The best work is done when you’re ready to make changes and sometimes we don’t realize how our life experiences have truly influenced us. I work with adults who are early in the stages of exploring who they want to be and ready to challenge and relearn unhealthy core beliefs.
