I'm passionate about working with adults coping with depression, relationship difficulties, substance use/co-occurring disorders, complicated family dynamics, career or academic challenges, life transitions, and the effects of trauma. In our work together, I'll incorporate reflection, curiosity, and humor alongside therapeutic modalities such as solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I'll hold a safe, shame-free space for us where we can explore new ways to address unhelpful patterns, move through uncomfortable feelings, and be kinder to yourself. Therapy does not need to be scary nor dull. My clients would say I come across as competent and compassionate. No one deserves to do life alone. I look forward to being on your team and tackling challenges together one step at a time.

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

We will complete an intake assessment to identify what challenges you are facing to help us develop a treatment plan together that addresses these challenges.

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

I have extensive training in co-occurring disorders, life transitions/stress management and processing trauma. I am person centered in my approach and my goal is to establish open communication to allow us to work towards your goals collaboratively. I am open and receptive to your feedback about the services you receive and I’m always willing to engage in new techniques to help you meet your goals.
